Richard Devereux does LAS (and the WoTR).

I'm in the NKA #3 variant. No agents killing me (pity
about the free mages casting sickness on us on T3).
I'll be down for NKA #4.

Actually since it requires so many mages to kill one
character (5 60 pointers are being used against us),
its not that bad. Its just that we can't counter it.

So we have 5 more characters off creating camps,
leading armies than the free have.

WoTR (2950 variant) wasn't that bad either - its a
supped up 2950. But I'll like to see a version 2 come
out before I try it again. Basically in WoTR the free
got lots more, the DS got bugger all. But the DS are
winning since the free economy pushed market prices
thru the roof (so the DS had no money problems due to
natsells). And the free didn't have the characters to
use the extra pop centres. And I think some critical
free were not played very well at the start.

But ask for NKA #4. The more who join, the sooner the
next one will start :)

And remember to allow for sickness squads.

We won't be doing an NKA yet - there was interest in LAS (Limited
assassination) rather than LA (Last Alliance). LAS I think is one +20% per
side (or not at all but assassinations allowed still)

If there is a lot of interest then please tell us an I can sort it out but
it was a tad difficult to finish up before hand.

Variety is good, but too much variety and we won't get a game going. :-)

each turn (regardless of what sort of game it is) is
3.90. So does it matter what sort of game it is ?

Sure the variants need extra work up front, but the
more games you start, the more money you can pass to
the tax-man (speaking of which - did blair say thanks
for giving him a pay rise after the last election ?).

Our lot does the same thing down here (automatic pay
rises, not mention of it before elections, etc, etc).
So I had to laugh.

And 2950 g28 should end this turn. 1650 G63 might end
soon. And if the free in NKA #3 fold, then i'm out of
middle earth games. So I'm thinking of what games I
want to put my name down for.

I'm a DS in NKA #3, but I'm worry about the free. They
might need the NK to hold their hand, or else use
their advantage in mages to counter the DS (who lost
their advantage in agents). Otherwise they are dead
meat (the DS own the south, and in all my FA games,
its the south - with their ecomonic bonus - that
wins).

p.s Seriously I don't expect my enemy Clint to call it
quits in NKA #3. But I do expect to soon have a
weekend off from middle earth. So I am looking to put
my name down for a new game.

Not really - it's just what I can fill for players that's all. At present
as we have recently filled a NKA game I don't think we could get another up
off the ground soon. That's why I suggested LAS. (one variant then one
normal would bethe generic plan).
