WOTR 2 Week Gunboat (possibly no drop)

General
#1

Looking to see if we can get enough people together to get this listed. I guess we need 6 (since there are 12 players) and since I’d plan to play we need 5 more sign ups/posts of interest. Please note if your interested in it being no drop, but do NOT POST YOUR PREFERRED PAIRINGS.

I took the time to palantir the alterations (included) but taking a cue from 1650 gunboat suggested a few alterations as listed below, I am trying to get the gif uploaded to a public site so I can add a link to it here.

  1. Since the WW is directly against 2 free at start, even in 2950 gunboat he has a tough time, but in this he is a city/cit and a village against 4 major towns and three towns for major recruiting centers and most of his secondary pops are not fortified. He is the Rhudaur of 2950. Since the other darks can not see him to come help, I suggested the following:

2118 upgrade from camp to T/F (from camp), this represents that Saruman “grew” his army and could rapidly out produce his enemies.

1918 & 1715 to towns (from villages), these represent dunlendlings who did not go “free”. This should give him some hope of survival.

  1. Even out the NW region people have said goes “free” quick and represents the “northern” war where mordor sent their forces north to crush the elves and dwarves.

2006 to a City/F (from MT/F), WK
2308 to T/F (from V/T), WK

  1. With the Rhun Easterlings Free, The Rhun area really can just move south into the backside of mordor in this version and there is no way until their large
    forces are on the darks that the darks can corridinate. Giving the LR the ability to strike in the area returns it to being a theater.

4315 to MT/C/P (from V/C), LR 10 Warships, 10
transports, 1000 HI
4121 to T/F (from T), LR

While the alterations are dark upgrades, the free upgrades in WOTR are already very signifigant, and these simply lessen, not out pace the recruitment ability of the free in the theathers mentioned.

I’d prefer the game to be no drop, but it is not critical.

Pairings:
Free People
1/10 Woodmen/Noldo Elves
2/9 Northmen/Sinda Elves
3/22 Riders of Rohan/Rhun Easterlings
4/6 Dunadan Rangers/Northern Gondor
5/7 Silvan Elves/Southern Gondor
8/23 Dwarves/Dunlesdings

Dark Servants
11/14 Witch King/Cloud Lord
12/21 Dragon Lord/Corsairs
13/19 Dog Lord/Long Rider
16/20 Ice King/Dark Lieutenants
17/24 Quiet Avenger/White Wizard
18/15 Fire King/Blind Sorcerer

See ya,
Ken

I may be interested. I would need to check the WOTR standard rules to see how much the game has been altered.

Is this game in addition to the currently filling 2950 GB or instead of it?

#3

It would be a seperate listing and will only be listed if we get 6+ people (4 more) to go for it.

To open it up to more people, if you want to play a gunboat variant of this without the modifications I have listed (Clint seemed interested) we could try it out without them. If that is the case make note of it.
