[HS] The Old Alliances

A surprise for Mordor that Gondor sent some siege equipment ahead a couple of turns ago, sneaking through the forrests. Once these ballista's were close enough for a one-day's march to the fortress, Boromir and Bregion joined up with the ballista's and stormed the keep.

Gondor has now secured the 2nd entrance into Mordor, while it has to abandon the Black Gate as the Nazgul and his army approaches. Today's victory cost us many lives, but we are getting closer to a free world, slowly, day by day.

Nice move Chieftain. Didn't even see that ballista, just the other one. I'm not doing Rhun any favours here

I'll have the turn up in 24 hours.

See ya Witch-King. Mordor has to take some big risks now.

Rhun!

I'm not sure we can consider this chess anymore, since the good side keeps putting extra pieces on the board. Not that I can really blame him...

Good side still experiences this as a huge chessgame, owing to the extreme cooperation between all races. Good side also denies there are extra pieces on the board, the pieces are just moving between locations.

However, good side can not promise the current pieces on the board will be all the pieces to play with. We hope some more will join us, if the treasury allows us!

For the first time in 40 turns, the good side can achieve a slight advantage over Rhun and we are curious how Rhun will respond. 'Check!'

Evil side up

Black Gate is taken with overwhelming odds (and a ballista).

Rhun!

I do what I can, which isn't much. I've already bankrupted myself trying to match the five full stack armies the good side has confronted me with. This will be a slow death for Rhun (or a quicker one, if the elves get a lucky AR result this turn).
