{Jams on! Good only!} We need to formulate a plan. I can see Bad are already planning something from the fact that they have started jammering already. We need to ensure that they don't get ahead of us. I suggest the following. Mordor and Khand will almost certainly seize Nurn and Gorgoroth before doing anything. If we can mobilize a large force to hold them back, at the Morgul Vale and Ithilien, we'll have a chance on that front. Osgiliath and Cair Andros must be held at all costs. Rohan and Aglarond can be given the main task of blocking the north, as if those areas are held, their HQs will be under no threat, unless Gondor falls. Our main danger is the south. Harad is the greatest of the Bad HQs, and with Umbar at their side, they will surely march north, and little will be able to stop them. I propose that Gondor, our greatest force, assists Dol Amroth there. Assuming everyone starts at the same time, Dol Amroth, Gondor, Harad, and Umbar should all arrive In Harondor at the same time. It is there we should hold them. If we can, we should push them back to the Crossings of the Harnen, but we can always hold the Crossings of the Poros. While Gondor forces Umbar and Harad to concentrate their efforts on land battles, Dol Amroth will send in a fleet, to keep Umbar under attack and prevent them from training more troops. What say you, my friends? ~Elphiril the Fair, Lord and Prince of Dol Amroth

I have a plan to deploy Aglarond, mostly to the North to hold either Dagorlad or the Black Gate. Others will go to various HQs and build siege weapons that can't be transported long distances. A few will also go to Harondor, primarily crossbowmen. Some also will go up through Ithilien to Dagorlad as well. I have a more complicated plan, but I can't remember it at the minute. There are really only two choke points for Bad, Black Gate/ Dagorlad and Harondor. Unless they can go through Cirith Ungol, then I will send troops there instead of up through Ithilien.

{JAMMERS! -USERNAME- ONLY!}Obviously first we need to seize the regions near our HQs. That's the easy bit. Than, unless we want to have a long fight to get back on the offensive agaisnt the enemy's main areas, we need to press on. Rohan could try to cross over Emyn Muil and down into Dagorlad, and then sweep down through Cirith Gorgor into the Udun Vale. At least by then we'll probably run into Mordor's forces, and engage them. And if necessary we could probably send troops down into North Ithilien.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} I was thinking about sending most of my dwarves primarily to Dagorlad via Emyn Muil, mostly because Cavalry aren't suited at all to Emyn Muil, although I know that isn't a factor technically. A few dwarves are also going to the Gondorian Front to assist there. Otherwise, I don't know what Gondor or DA is planning. Ideally when we claim Gondor should claim the least compared to the other HQs, but should still hurry to all choke points. I reckon we should take care of Dagorlad Bobby, and leave Gondor and DA to handle Harondor. I think we may have to improvise based on where Evil focuses.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} I (Dol Amroth) plan on sending troops to claim Lebennin and Pelargir, and ships to claim Tolfalas and then land in Harondor. I'm hoping Gondor will help me in Harondor, as I imagine the full might of Harad and Umbar will come down there. Umbar's forces aqual mine, and Harad dwarfs my army. Plus, both EE and 8L have more experience than me. So hopefully Gondor can send reinforcements, else I'll be routed.

{Spoiler}{JAMMERS! -good- ONLY!}That sounds very good. I have a large force of Cavalry with some infantry heading down through Anorien. I'll probably have them cross the Anduin at Cair Andros and push into North Ithilien, then I'll probably send at least some onto Dagorlad. Would you like me to send some other troops right across the East emnet and Emyn Muil, to reach Dagorlad faster and help you? If we can take Dagorlad, and all of Ithilien, we should be in good shape. We should try to take Cirith Gorgor and the Morgul Vale as soon as possible, to really trap the enemy securely. Hopefully, As you said, Dol Amroth and Gondor can handle the south. As you said, we may have to improvise. Part of where we send our troops will depend on if Khand is used more to support Umbar and Harad or to reinforce Mordor. Of course, if we really hit them hard, we may be able to make it so they have to improvise, giving us the initiative

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} Yep, you send some through Emyn Muil, since you can reach it before me. I will send my other force of 7000 dwarves to Cirith Ungol to hold there. Shamrock leads them. We have a bit of surprise too, because they don't think we have a plan, which we do know. If we can box Evil in we will have an easier time. We need to watch Umbar though, they can get troops in very annoying places easily. Is Gondor active, or not?

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!}Gondor hasn't made any moves. I think I'm going to join it and move troops to the right regions, as if starting on Sunday. I hope Legoaquillano, but we really can't let Gondor have just done nothing. If I do that, Gondorian troops can reach the Morgul Vale, The Crossings of Poros, and even Dagorlad today. Maybe even Tolfalas, which would be good, as I might be able to prevent 8Legos from claiming it. I do really hope Legoaquillano comes back however, as I don't want to be stuck controlling Gondor.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!}Right, but focus more on Harondor and Cirith Ungol, as I believe Rohan will reach Dagorlad before Evil. Shamrock can reach Tolfalas in 1 day, and I believe has, so that isn't a problem. I'm primarily concerned about Harondorian front, as it has a lot of pressure on it. Hopefully LA comes back, or Leoxandar Magnus comes back to lead them.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} Correct, I'm at Tolsfalas with my main Dol Amroth force. I believe Umbar has split it's forces more than I have, so I'm hoping I can capture or at least keep keep a battle going at Tolfalas.
However, if Pelargir and Lebennin come under attack, I'll have to divert troops from Tolfalas to those ares, as I only have small forces there. If Gondor can hold the Crossings of Poros and perhaps capture Harondor, I think I'll be fine dealing with Tolfalas.

{Spoiler}{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!}I think we're in very good shape in Dagorlad and Udun. I believe we outnumber them vastly, but I could be wrong. If we could break into Mordor we'd be in very good position. I also think I'm in good shape at Morgul Vale. The place I'm worried about, as you said Masterlegobuilders, is the crossings of Poros, and also South Ithilien, where there are some enemies. However, I have many troops here, and will soon have reinforcements from Gondor's generated troops, and the large force of Rohirrim currently at Cair Andros. I may have to divert some troops from Morgul Vale or Dagorlad, however.
I have a fleet about to land at Tolfalas, along with 3,000 troops. They can help out, but if they're not needed, I might take them to South Ithilien.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} Hmm, I'm not sure where your dwarves would be best placed now Shamrock. Perhaps you should use them to defend Lebennin so you can hold Tolfalas. If we push them back we can probably hold out better, but that will be difficult. Bobby, you can probably bring some of the Gondorians down from Dagorlad to be used elsewhere, although I don't know what we're facing yet and I think Khand's armies have yet to reach us.

{JAMMERS! -Good-ONLY!} I'd say push South Ithilien as much as possible. If you can push Umbar back to Poros, and I'm still fighting at Tolsfalas, I'd say send me reinforcements then.
Umbar has gone to many places, so either the armies fighting you are small, or the army facing me is smaller than mine. I have enough ships that I should be able to trap Umbar at Tolsfalas, if not destroy them.
