Magic Geek's Free get conquered, turn 7. Got the King. Got Galadriel. Got killed. Boromir plus reinforcement died in the fords. Gandalf was still 1 turn from Mordor. Nothing worked. Fought in the field at Rivendell after a Power too Great, so Woodland Realm got an Extra Elite against DEW North. Woodland Realm also got an elite from its card, and 2 seige Engines. Mr Angry still killed it, and later took Dale. Corsairs took Dol Amroth and later Pelagir. Orthanc took Rohan. All clean and nowhere to Wriggle, or complain really. Corsairs are really much better than I have given them credit for. Magic Geek's Shadow crush a FreeMonger, turn 7 I got an army on the Fellowship, so he went military. He could not hold Dol Guldur. He could not take Umbar. Close. Magic Geek's Free get crushed, turn 10 This game is best described by Gandalf's Journey. Moria, Nth Mirkwood, Carrock, Erebor, Carrock, Old Forest Rd, Nth Mirkwood, Dol Guldur, Conquer Dol Guldur, Os-Giliath, Pelagir, West Harandor, Umbar, Conquer Umbar, Near Harad, Far Harad, Mutual DEATH with Shadow. At that point there were 2 red men south of Orthanc. 3 Blue men in Dol Amroth, 1 in Umbar. And 8 HP in Angmar! Which died on the last die of that turn. So Gandalf starts off threatening Mt Gundabad, and ends up taking Dol Guldur, Umbar and dieing defending Far Harad. (Conquering Dol Guldur and Umbar was good too. Except the Witch King came just in time, and killed everyone in Dol Guldur.) And that is without talking about Lorien driving the Eye to war by attacking Moria. But the Elves, (with Rivendel and Nth Downs) just could not link up. The King even went back to Moria with a Glowing Andruil. But it just wasn't worth it so everyone ended up fleeing to the conquest of Dol Guldur. Did not get the Ents for the entire game.

Magic Geek's Shadow lose to FPMV, turn 10.
Shut him down with Mr Hunty. FSP got lost north of Mordor, and abandoned. Forced him into a Military try. Knew I could not stop his 2 armies, so I went for 10 points. I got to 8 and couldn't take Woodland Realm because of a Heroic Death.
If I played the last turn right I had him. Needed to attack WR and then fast march. Doing it the other way around let companions in. Bugger.

Magic Geek's Shadow lose to a ring Dunk, turn 8.
Hounded him with Mr Hunty. Strider got crowned, the other 6 companions died in the FSP. Smeagol + Blue tile got him home with change.
Magic Geek's Shadow crush, demoralise and constrict, turn 14. Mr Hunty stopped the FSP. The Orthanc wolf popped Rivendell on turn 3, with the FSP. Galadriel got 2 Eyes , but still the pain came. The FSP even healed for 3 turns on Lorien. Gondor was incredibly deliberate, slow, and bloody. He kept killing red men. But Blue men died too. I had a wall of Red men, Os-Giliath had 14HP and Nazgul. Gondor ran out of Forcepool. Huge walls of red men were playing Zone Defence, watching the Free Military. The King ran and Liberated Pelagir, but too late as a wolf and 4 Hillmen raged their way into the Shire for the game.
Mr Hunty is featuring a lot in my recent games.

Magic Geek's Shadow conquer, turn 13. FSP just outside Mordor. Mr Hunty does the business.
Magic Geek's Shadow conquer, turn 11. FSP one turn inside Mordor Galadriel dead on turn 3 from Mordor Alpha.
Magic Geek's Shadow crush, turn 7. FSP one step from Rivendell. Complete and utter crushing in all possible ways. Except that he almost won. The King finished the game in complete control of Barad-Dur. I thought he had it won the turn before. Bree linked on Rivendell for 13HP.

Magic Geek's Free get conquered, turn 10. Got to 2 points, couldn't roll 6's so didn't get to win a FPMV. He did some quality silly stuff. Marching the Southrons to form a line in front of the At War Gondor was funny. West Harandor, Os-G, Nth Ith, Dagorlad . . All had peaceful Southrons in them protecting Mordor. So Aragorn conquered Dol Guldur. And just couldn't win. Magic Geek's Free get conquered, turn 8. I got to 5 VP with the Free. He retook Morannon with his last Action die, with his last leadership roll. Angmar and Mt Gundabad were SAFE! Dammit, He shoulda lost. If there was any fairness in the universe he so shoulda lost.

Magic Geek's Free win a FPMV, turn 8. Woooo Hoooo!!!!
My first action of the game, "Separate 7 companions to Moria"
DEW got Gandalf the white on turn 1. Dol Guldur charged Gandalf, who fled to Lorien. Mordor Alpha Wiped Dew. Lorien Took Dol Guldur. Gimli + Bree heatbutt, and fail to conquer Mt Gundabad. Shadow treatens to win. Gandalf and Lorien threaten to Liberate DEW. Easterlings pump and defend DEW. Gandalf + Gimli run to Mt Gundabad and conquer it for the WIN!
I got lucky. I did not deserve to win this. But, I refused to roll up and die.
He should have won multiple battles in the last 2 turns. The roll 6 rule is harsh like that.

Magic Geek's Free win a FPMV, turn 8. Got Angmar but could not keep Far Harad Took Mt Gundabad and Dol Guldur for the win. Big safe Free Armies made this a walk over. Magic Geek's Free win a FPMV, turn 8. Took Mt Gundabad and Moria for the win Killed the Balrog with a hobbit. Magic Geek's Free Lose, turn 15. Fought, and fought and finally died. Broke the seige on M-T twice, survived the 3rd army, lost to the 4th. Took Dol Guldur, could not roll 6's on Mt Gundabad. Good Game Killed the WK at M-T. These were against an old opponent, not my usual one. I just wanted to play Free and attack. I am now 3 from 4 FPMV. All 3 on Turn 8 ! King + Boromir to M-T Merri to Fangorn Legolas to Lorien Gimli to Carrock Pippin to Fords Of Isen Gandalf to Dale (Activate North) The last 3 change depending on cards, Dew North status and opponent.

Magic Geek's Free win a Ring Dunk, turn 8. I moved the ring 4 spaces on turn 1, with a ring. He attacked Lorien until turn 7, when he killed Galadriel. He attacked Nowhere Else. He rolled crap. He drew crap cards. He rolled his first Muster turn 3.
I finished on 6 corruption, with a Hobbit.
Biggest slapping I have given him in a LONG time.

Magic Geek's Shadow Conquer, corrupt the FSP 12.
Gandalf, then Strider then the FSP died in Mordor. Actually played and drew a red tile! Free action dice sucked. Free Combat dice started as God Like, and fell away remarkably. 7 hits in a round is rather special (+2 from my own relentless assault. 5 hits happened twice more.
Didn't matter though as I wore him down.

Magic Geek's FreeMonger goes down, turn 10, Shadow Conquer.
Free could raech Far Harad. Free beseiged Umbar, and were beat back by the Neighbouring Southrons. Shadow had 12 Hits + 5 leadership, Free had 13 hits and 4 leadership. Free got unlucky in the first round and bailed to West Harandor.
Free got to 5 VP, and lost Orthanc on his last die. Free got to 5 VP, and Shadow won that turn with 13VP.
I was looking at Andruil and Thru a Day. He won because he assumed I had them.
He got unlucky in the opening Action Rolls. I built Rivendell and charged Mt Gundabad. F!F!F! Got Nth Downs, Grey Gandalf, Legolas and Merry into the Elven Charge.
Gandalf Played Heroic Death to get himself killed. Mt Gundabad missed. That miss cost me the game. Gandalf cant rez in Lorien if he aint dead. Lorien Charged Orthanc, took it and died, just.
Then The King lost to Southrons with Nazgul Leadership.
I so should have won that game.

Magic Geek's Free get corrupted, turn 10. I was robbed. Frodo died on the last tile pull. Frodo got so slapped around by ridiculous tile pulls in Mordor. And I made 3 timing mistakes that cost me the game, I think. I should have got a FPMV too, stupid dice.
