Game 73

[Arthedain73]

Yep, just like I predicted. Trap orcs in a swamp and they desert.

[Arthedain73]

Any 73 DS out there?

[Arthedain73]

Witch King, I know you are out there. Did you enjoy the feint on the south edge of your map? As Sun Tzu says, you may foil the enemy's plans by throwing something unaccountable before him.

[Don Palmer]

Ed of Arth,

Well, it takes us warg riders a bit to figger out this new technology. I'll try and let the other wraith lovers know about this site if you want to strike up some banter.

Damn, it's cold this winter ! Did you freeps manage to keep the sell prices low, or were you just lucky ?

[Sam Q]

Mighty Argeleb... 'tis a good thing that you have flipped through the pages of that ancient text, but you have missed the point about feints. Feints are only useful if they cause a burden onto your enemy, or confuse and confound their plans. All the duns managed to accomplish with their feint is move my armies from one recruitment center to another.

But I ask that you continue to "feint" in this way and allow me to continue recruiting.

My orc legions in the swamp waited patiently for Morwen to attack. I guess she just didn't have the stones to stand up to true warriors. Now the leaders of those armies have returned to Angmar to continue the fight. Perhaps that was another opportunity lost for you. A pity.

PS... tell the woodmen that their army next to Mt. Gundabad should return to defend its capital considering the thrashing the Dragon Lord has given him.

[11 Top Hats]

Greetings to Argeleb and fellow slaves of the elves. My Lord and Master has demanded I read the following proclamation. (especially for you Ed)

The Horse Lords rode forth, battle fated
All Mordor looked on with breath bated
At Durthang they fought
Though it all came to nought
And their forces are emasculated


Thus ends the lesson.

Thank you Sam and John. Yes, the DS have the bragging rights so far. I will urge my team mates to greater creativity, but I can't promise that all will listen.

[Arthedain73]

Yo Witch King: Did I mention the movement down south was a feint? Another question: Does the icon represent 300 men or 3,000?

[Sam Q]

It matters little... 300 troops or 3000, they will fall... as Edrick fell, as Bondan's army (of what, 1000 troops?) will fall. The Dwarves at 2004 will fall, as will the dwarves next to Gundabad.

Perhaps Bondan should fall under Rogrog's knife.

Yes, you've mentioned your lovely feint before. I'm very pleased with its progress. Please continue.

I can take everything you, the dwarves, the duns, and anyone else can dish out. Every turn I buy is one turn closer to sweeping the carpet clean of the free nations.

PS - I'm pleased to see that Morwen left the swamp.

[Arthedain73]

She got her quota of duck, since the snipe all flew off.
