BotA Rd. 5 (Middle Earth): Narushima vs. P@nther

[Narushima]

@P@nther:

Right, from the odds I was expected to lose only 9 Units.

Well if we’ve learned anything it’s that the dice and the odds are not the same thing.

[Panther]

You’re right.

Next move to follow within the next minutes…

Well, I think that’ll be it, I give up. You now have twice the units and twice the production I have, and my only success (Rhun) won’t get me far.
The first Mordor/Gondor was my downfall, I attacked too quickly and kept most of my forces all over the places (especially goblins).

So, well played, it was fun. I’ll post in the tournament thread.

[Panther]

Thank you! It was a pleasure to play with you.
Just contact me if you feel like playing another game (LotR or other) at any time.
