OK - the uploader is full again. So I posted the move above and will send the savegame to your email.

[Panther]

We can of course wait until the game allows postings with files attached again - and I will repeat the posting if you prefer that.

Your decision :-)

[Narushima]

That’s OK, I’ll use the save you sent me.

[Narushima]

Your defences have not been very lucky…

@Narushima:

Your defences have not been very lucky…

Indeed… obviously they were so demoralized because of the failed run for Rhun City that they welcomed Rhuns’ troops with arms wide opened…

[Narushima]

Yes, that and all the flyers my chariots spewed in the streets of Lake Town before the attack, all containing nothing but one rude word.
Psychological warfare at its best.

[Panther]

LOL  :-)

File comes per email again.

Please - if you by any chance intend to attack my Gondor army in Harad Road at any time - ask for my OOL. Thank you.  :-)

[Narushima]

Oops, I didn’t check this post before attacking. I didn’t exactly do a lot of damage but I can redo it if you want.

[Panther]

Please post the turn and we will see what we can make of it.

[Panther]

It was only on round of combat as I see from the dice so maybe I will probably only edit my losses.

[Panther]

ONE round of combat of course :-)

[Panther]

So nothing to worry about.

[Narushima]

OK, here it is then:

Turn sent via email.

[Panther]

Ouch…. but it was a desperate and definitely lost battle from the beginning on.

I would lose two Spear Infantries (Cost 3 Attack 1 Defense 2) of course - instead of two Tower Guards Cost 4 Attack 2 Defense 3).
I will edit this in my next move. You will see it in the post then.

[Narushima]

OK. It was desperate, but the gods of war definitely don’t favour the braves.
