{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} So I believe we have troops at the Xings of Poros, Udun Vale, Morgul Vale, and S. Ithilien. The latter is hardly more than a distraction, we don't need to worry too much about what 8L does there. Poros, we need to hold. I believe LA is taking that battle. So maybe if you want to take the troops at either Udun Vale or Morgul Vale, I can take the others. Ofc, I should find out if Bobbywan plans on continuing with this HQ, or going back to Rohan.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} For our current armies' locations, Bobby made a post detailing all that; I'll go quote it in a minute.
On ranks, it's kind of anybody's guess RN. LA is the leader. Bobby joined temporarily to assist LA, I'm not sure if he plans on continuing tho. I just joined here 'cuz good needed more members, and Mace, you just returned as well. Lemme see if Bobby plans on sticking around here, and then we can develop a pecking order.

The 3,000 unspecified Mwe, at North Ithilien and South Ithilien are the troops from the region bonuses. I hadn't decided what they were yet. I'd recommend making some of them Rangers to fight the Corsair rangers in South Ithilien.
Gondor is currently fighting or about to fight at Dagorlad, the Morgul Vale, South Ithilien, and the crossings of Poros.
{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} I believe these numbers are still accurate, altho do substitute Udun Vale for Dagorlad. To summarize, we have roughly 1/3 of our forces at Poros, another 1/3 at the Morgul Vale, smaller forces at Dagorlad and S. Ithilien, and minor (>1k MWE) defense forces at our other regions.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} Bobby just said he doesn't plan on continuing with Gondor. Assuming that LA has control of the Poros battle, one of us can take control of the troops at the Morgul Vale, while the other can handle the Udun Vale and S. Ithilien battles. Mace, which one do you want to do?
The day of prosperity makes one forget adversity; The day of adversity makes one forget prosperity.
{JAMMERS! Good only, Gondorians should read!} I finally had some time to analyze the state of our troops. Here's what we got, where we got it:
- Udun Vale: There are 2,000 Gondorians there (minus some losses), fighting alongside a bunch of dwarves and Rohirrim. The battle is a stalemate RN. I'll be checking with MLB to see if we need those troops there or not.
- Morgul Vale: I have 12,000 troops and most of our siege engines there, fighting MM. Not sure how it'll turn out ATM. I should be able to win, but I want to keep troops there for now.
- S. Ithilien: Need to fix what's going on here. We have at least 5,000 MWE there, manning the fort. We basically have the region, but 8L is contesting our claim with a couple hundred Umbar rangers, who are just hiding and sniping from the undergrowth. I'm going to try and force him out here. That should free up most of these troops to go elsewhere, like the next region.
- Crossings of Poros: I haven't been involved here for a while, so I'm not entirely aware of what's going on. But we do have ~14,000 MWE there (not counting losses), and it doesn't sound like it's going well. LA, would you recommend we bring in reinforcements?
- Owned regions: We have 500 MWE each at Minas Tirith, Anorien, Osgiliath, Cair Andros, and N. Ithilien. At the latter, we also have 1,000 unspecified MWE. I'm working on gathering the SWE from topics at N. Ithilien as well. I may want to use those at Minas Morgul, but I'm not sure yet. Thoughts?
- Fleet: Our entire fleet was in battle against 8L at Tolfalas. I lent it to Shamrock for a few days, and I think it's still there.
If you guys are still here, please respond (in Jammers!) to let me know that you are. And please state what you think of the above, what we should do, battle strategies, etc. Thanks!

{CLICK ON ME} Not quite. For source code, it's [sp*oiler=XXX] (remove the *), with XXX being replaced by whatever you want as the jammer heading (e.g. Good only). Ofc, you should also have a button just above the posting box for that. It's the one furthest to the right, with the face holding a finger over it's mouth.
And, ofc, if all else fails, you can just do old fashioned jammers, preferably with the strikethrough, and hope nobody sees too much. But it should be easy enough to do.

Anyway, I would recommend consolidating a force that can feasibly defend and strike at our enemies. Two armies should work, one for the east and one for the south. Our first plan should be to raze Umbar before their power grows. We would need to get the cooperation of Dol Amroth to do it. For now, we must hold Ithilien and Osgiliath before Mordor regains power and also to protect the borders from Rhun.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} A few notes of things I noticed; First of all, if you need more cavalry at the Morgul Vale, I can find a way to send some.
Secondly, at S. Ithilien, you ought to just send a couple thousand troops and wipe him out, then send your troops out; if you leave him, you don't really need that much of a garrison anyways.
At Udun Vale, you won't be able to retreat without taking enormous losses, so I recommend staying.
At Xing of Poros, you should be able to counter most of the damage; you weren't here to respond, so they didn't have a right to continue bombarding Gondorian forces. You'll still have minor losses, though.
As to Tolfalas, I have a Rohirrim fleet heading there to help out.

For now, we must hold Ithilien and Osgiliath before Mordor regains power and also to protect the borders from Rhun.
That's sort of what we have ATM. A large percentage of our forces are defending the Crossings of Poros against the south, and a nearly-as-large force is attacking the Morgul Vale, in the east. The way this RP is situated, there are a number of choke points between the good and evil HQs, notably the Udun Vale, as well as the ones I just mentioned. If we can at least keep them from getting through those, our other regions will be safe, except for naval attack.
Which leads to the second point. There's already been some discussion about attacking Umbar at the Council of Free Peoples; you may want to check that out, and continue planning with them. The trouble (as usual) is rounding up the troops needed for it. And then there's the navy we'd need for it; as I mentioned; our fleet (as well as most of DA's fleet) is engaged with the Umbarrim and Orcish fleets at Tolfalas. We'll probably need to win that battle first, before we try anything against Umbar.
Anyways, I'm thinking that you can have whatever troops we can round up from elsewhere for an attack on Umbar. You can discuss that with the other leads at the Council. I have 1,000 spare MWE at N. Ithilien (with some SWE), and can probably get the 2,000 at Udun Vale out of there. Aside from that, I may be able to pull some troops out of Minas Morgul, although I need to see what happens next there. And then there's S. Ithilien, which, once I drive 8L out, we can use the troops there. However, we may need some of them at Poros, since it doesn't seem to be going well there. Sound good?
Also, we haven't added a Rhun HQ yet, so we won't need to worry about them for a bit.

sorry i was inactive. i'm outnumbered at poros. i could use reinforcements.
