The Gladden Fields is a large marsh that extends north and south of the River Gladden, which runs through the middle of the region to the Anduin. Farther from the river the land becomes more field-like.
In the First Age it was said that there was a great lake where the Gladden and Anduin met, but later it became a marsh. The famous disaster of the Gladden Fields occurred here, where Isildur and his sons perished and the One Ring was lost.
The Gladden Fields provides the usual 1,000 MWE and 100 SWE for whoever claims it.
"Behold the Kingdom of the Beornings claim this region, the Gladden Fields for their kingdom. Any one who says otherwise may fight them!"
The claiming is nulled, their are 5K orcs here first. BTW though, they're not fighting for it, just generating 250 troops and leaving into the Wilderland, but whatever.

OOC: Thats what they think.
IC: *2000 Beornings advance on the orcs*
also nulled, because that
*On the 29th, the Orcs secretly moved into the Wilderlands.* So their is nothing to fight.

KitKat ? I have 2000 troops which include scouts which would see your troops. I advanced on the orcs, we should have entered battle time and you should have started to fight me.

no, for a couple of reasons.
1st off, this was what was happening. 2nd off, it's my move. 3rd off, this is a large region without any river keeping me from using the whole region to my advantage. 4th, It was Dark, with no moon, and lots of clouds 5th, this is a marsh, which means that it is difficult for your scouts to move back. You could attack with the scouts, but that would be 1 or 2 units against my troops.

This seems alot like Metagaming. Keplers Your opinion?
Actually, I was moving on whether or not they came, as I said, I was making 250 MWE, send it in to Goblin Town, and then move on anyway. My plan was to send it up to Forodwaith, but it looks like that is not going to happen.

I think dre did something similar in this region. Since when do you get to chose the weather? Exactly its a marsh which would mean that your army would be slow and loud. My scouts could go report back and my main army could attack the orcs.
If we declare that the orcs are still here *The Beornings advance in battle formation* If they left *The beornings left chasing the orcs*

Edit: Some of the beornings would stay behind claiming the region*

Let's see here. . .
#1: I'm not sure I understand the meaning of this. #2: Since stuff plays out in real-time, who's move it was doesn't mean much. Moves exist solely to make responding to each other orderly, but actions play out as if there were no turns. #3: While the Gladden Fields are about fifty miles wide on the northern end, realistically, the area that you'd be passing through is only about half that width. Going about thirty-five miles out would put you in the Carrock, not the Wilderland. #4: This was never specified until now. I'll let you two make of that what you will. #5: That may be true, but that also means that your own progress would be slow. Plus, the scouts wouldn't have to regroup with the main army. A few good blasts on a horn would notify nearby scouts, who could repeat the signal to notify the main army of the enemy location. This would obviously mean the doom of the scouts, but it'd work.
Additionally, keep in mind MM that you've got about fifty Trolls and two and a half thousand infantry, carrying two hundred glorified cable-cars. Spotting you won't be difficult. Now there is still a good chance that you could slip past the Beornings (as you'd probably be moving along the mountains, and I think they'd be a bit eastwards), but they would quickly find your tracks and be in close pursuit. Also, you're moving into hostile territory. It'd be expected that the Beornings would keep a close watch over their borders (especially the border that you're crossing), which means that your presence will be known as soon as you enter the Wilderland. You may have made it past the first army, but now you'll be marching straight into another with the first one right on your heels. I'll leave the final decision to the two of you.

Then it's less likely. Since I "attacked" I get to choose the weather if I so desire. but so would yours, and as I'm going to a destination while you are going to attack someone, I therefore get the advantage their.
