Note:I'm not using the spy
[1]The Nazgûl captains are bad at organising ambushes.They try to organise one,but they are easily discovered by some scouts sent by Arnor.There is no ambush.

[1+1+9-1=10]-[2+1=3]=7 Men and ghosts assemble a flotilla to cross the river.They sail across the river,and attack the orcs waiting on the opposite bank of the river.The slaughter is huge.Mordor loses 7 units.

[4+1+9=14]-[6+1=7]=7 The few remaining troops of Mordor are surrounded by Arnor's soldiers.The have nowhere to go and fight to death.Arnor's men prove themselves stronger in battle.Mordor loses 7 units.Ji Indûr's army is destroyed.[6]He survives,but he has nowhere to go.What will happen to him?
[2+1+9]-[3+1=4]=5 The few remaining orcs are quickly slaughtered.Mordor loses 5 units.Hoarmurath's army is destroyed[4]He survives too.

Battle of Wormcove
June, 3007 T.A.
Five Rhun armies (24 units) vs Erebor militia (2 units)
dice log

Rhun's spy sneaks into an armory and tries to dress in a guard's armor but it's too small. Some actual guards come in, beards trailing behind them, and shout as they spot the Easterling. The spy quickly dashes out of there and returns to camp, having gained no information (roll: 3, failure).

The dwarven miners deploy on a steep hill and gather boulders. The Easterlings blow their trumpets and charge up the hill. The enemy roll their boulders down and they crash through the ranks of men, crushing many warriors to death (3 - 5+1=6 = -3). The infantry finally reach the top and a brutal melee ensues with the midgets (3 - 1+1=2 = 1). Through sheer numbers the Easterlings finally overwhelm the enemy (3 - 1+1=2 = 1). Victory for Rhun. Wormcove is conquered by the hordes of the East.

End of Turn 013

~ Realm of Lothlorien ~

Current Treasury: 8

Income

Expenses

8 + 49 = 57 - 50 = 7

New Treasury: 7 wealth

@NobleWoman: Only 5 armies maximum can invade or deploy in a region. The new armies at Erebor cannot join the ones from Wormcove since that would be 7 armies. You can leave the depleted army and one other army behind in Erebor so 5 full-strength armies can invade the Iron Hills.

I thought you said Rhun would gift the wealth next turn?

In any case Lorien's diplomat is not in a Rhun region, so the transaction cannot take place.

I'll send the diplomat to Rhun this coming turn so the gift can be accepted.

**NobleWoman** · November 29, 2015, 01:13 AM

@Cats--fine.
By next turn, I meant the current one

. Send your diplomat over so that I can give the gift.

Hope that Marthand's status is also clear.

**Lord of Cats** · November 29, 2015, 02:50 PM

Oh wait... I think we added the rule where the battle continues until the defending commander(s) are killed or all defending units are destroyed. So, you'll have a lot of dice rolls to do.

If you want me to do them, you'll have to wait until I have some time.

Edit: yeah, here it is: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post14738864 .
