Magic Geek's Free get corrupted, turn 16.
Gandalf and the King conquered Minas Morgul, and then Barad-Dur. Dumped the army, ran back to Gondor and conquered Umbar with a second Gondor 10 Stack!
He was forced into an extremely slow grind. He could not afford to leave ANY stronghold undefended. (13HP in Lorien)
No Fair! I so had this game won. Gandalf + King is Good Times.
We had planned on a 7 turn sprint, but things got odd.

Magic Geek's Free get corrupted and conquered, turn 11. It went wonderfully until the Fellowship sat for 3 turns in Nth Ithilian. 5 companions and Smeagol died to the hunt. I so had it won. Smeagol gets nailed to a random, in Nth Ithilian. I have all 3 Lvl 2 companions, 3 Blue Tiles and no 3's left. So the first tile drawn in Mordor is the Special Eye. No other tile does ANYTHING. Galadriel starts grabbing the rulebook. She starts reading her card . . . Normal EYE?!? Ah, sorry Frodo.
Also, The FSP got found in Moria, with the Balrog, and got 3 tiles. Ow. But, when the FSP leaves I am pretty sure they get nailed by the Balrog again. At least, that is what we played.
Seems to be a very long losing streak with the Free at the moment.

Magic Geek's Free get thorughly conquered, turn 7.
I played hard, I got crushed. He read the play right, I left it one turn too long, and made at least 2 critical errors.
I played the turn 1 Dwarf Book using Gandalf in Erid Luin and a ring, Got Ents and waited for a Wow. Game defining, but not in a good way. He won the game by conquering 10 points using only 49 dice. I can see what he did was fair, it was still disapointing. 9 HP of Dwarves in Erebor with 2 Engines is meant to do something. On the final turn, Gandalf liberated Rivendell with 16 HP of Dwarves, Grey Haven Elves and a North Downs Ranger. Squashing 9 HP of Shadow is not normal Was not enough though.
I really want to play that again. Maybe against someone else. Maybe he knows my tricks by now, 7 orcs in Mt Gundabad when there is nothing closer than Erid Luin is not Normal, I feel.

Magic Geek's Free get thorughly conquered, turn 13.
Balrog ate Smeagol and I fought. The King fought a Field Battle at Minas T, Liberated Minas T, and then later died at Minas T. FSP got half way through Mordor. Got Corrupted out after he was on 10 VP. He makes it look so easy to push over the other little Blue Hills.
Hmmm. Free just can't pull a trick. This time fer shure.

Magic Geek's FreeDwarfMonger gest conquered, turn 8. On my last die of turn 6, I conquered Moria with a Ring. On his last die of turn 6, He liberated Dol Guldur, with that Ring. RRRrrRrrRRRRRR ! Anyhoo, the Dwarves from Erebor squashed Sth Dunland. He got mostly lucky, EVERYWHERE ! I did get the card I wanted (Dwarf Book) on turn one so I can't really complain. Really wanna play it again. This time fer shure!

Magic Geek's Free Dunk the Ring, turn 6. He would have reached 10 the next turn. Galadriel turn 3. Strider Strode across Middle Earth until turn 5 when I got my first WoW. 1 turn in Mordor. Magic Geek's Free Lose a Dol Amroth based FreeMonger, turn 8. Dol Amroth got the King and Boromir. Dol Amroth walked north up the coast with 4 elites and 4 regulars. Lorien got tempted by 1 regular in Dol Guldur and Went thru a day and a night. But it was a sucker punch as he grew a troll and got 3 regulars from a card and then upgraded 2 regulars to trolls. Suddenly the elves were facing 8 HP, not 1HP, and very much need reinforcements. Orthanc felt scared and grew to maximum stacking. 2 more elites appeared in Lorien and moved across to Dol Guldur. The king went north thru Dunland and conquered Moria, just. My last Die involved 5 elites attacking Dol Guldur for the win. The King, Gandalf the White, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir and a Hobbit were all at Dol Guldur swinging against his 8 HP. 4 rounds later he had an orc, I had two little Elves. Then he took 10 points. I really like this as an idea. I practiced the layout and the attack and the timing a little the night before. Dol Amroth going north just doesn't happen, so I thought I would give it a try. I REALLY like it. Requires an odd first move of "7 companions to Nth Dunland" King + Boro go Dol Amroth. Legolas (and Gimli) goes back to Moria, then Lorien Gandalf goes to the Fords Of Isen with 2 hobbits, then one hobbit goes to Fangorn while Gandalf and the other hobbit go to Edoras. Dice 4,5 & 6 get Ents, White and King Unfortunately this means Shadow can always get a Voice in, as he did, provided they roll the musters.

Magic Geek's Free lose, eventually, turn 18. All 3 Elven leaders died in the Defence of Barad-Dur, on hopefully the last die of the game. it wasn't
King went dead men turn 1 and beefed up Pelagir. Southrons went to Os-G. A lone Os-G had survived, scouted and took Morranon! Morranon got popped, but Umbar got taken early, and HELD. King + White (plus cirdan waiting) sat there. Shadow were on ZERO and very neverous.
Lorien went thru Moria, linked with Rivendell, took Angmar for the Win! except the Witch King retook it, Passed Mt Gundabad, defended with the Northman in Eagles Eerie, linked with Woodland Realm, Prodded Dol Guldur, got walloped by the WK again, charged into Mordor, Linked with The King and The White, took Barad Dur and died to Deadly strife on the not last die of the game, again.
AFTER The King and the White died, Gimli Set off with scraps and took Minas Morgul with Dale!
My opponent played it SO right. 18 turns, at 2 points he could have just lost by using the wrong die. Eagles scaring off the Nazgul is hilarious when they have no rings and no character die.
D'oh! Next time for sure!

Magic Geek's Free lose a Freemonger, turn 10. This game was different in that the Free got 4 separate strong armies happening in offensive positions, and failed everywhere. Except Umbar, where it should have been a tight free conquest instead of a walkover. But, then the WitchKing splatted Umbar with a Siege Engine and 2x Heads of the Fallen. My Free got the biggest army Ever, 8 elites + 2 regulars with White Gandalf, Legolas and Hobbit. My Free rolled 50 dice attacking Moria, and did 2 hits. I am SO going to win a FPMV against him. It IS going to happen.

Magic Geek's Free WIN ! a Free Military VICTORY!, turn 7. Tried to run the FSP. He got Mr Hunty. I took Moria, then Dol Guldur for the win. At last. He felt ripped, so we played again. Magic Geek's Free WIN ! a Free Military VICTORY!, turn 7. So I won again! This time he abandoned Saruman and tried to hit Rivendell with his troops. Gandalf actually went white and Actually Ented Saruman to Death! Has not happened in maybe 50ish games? Rohan got Angry and Pushed Orthanc. Dwarves got a book. Got the King. Got Gandalf white. Built Dwarven troops. Rohan started attracting Red Armies. Boromir and Legolas use dice to send Gondor and Elves to war. Dwarves and Gandalf Charged and took Dol Guldur. Aragorn double moves around Osgiliath. Looks out at the massed Red Men, takes Morannon, and holds it. WOOOOOOOOT ! Finally. He did not draw the right cards, or roll the right dice. Twice! Losing the last 15? free military campaigns against him seem much less pigheaded now. 0/15 looks SO much worse than 2/15.
