Ey mods, I finally got around to improving the starter post, so it's now in moderation. If you could check that out when you get a chance, that'd be great. Thanks!

I'll get right on it!
Excellent, thanks Ben!

{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!
sorry i was inactive. i'm outnumbered at poros. i could use reinforcements.
That's OK, I understand that life happens sometimes. But....USE JAMMERS, PLEASE.
{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY! Especially for Gondorians!} How badly are you outnumbered? Depending on the situation, I'm thinking we may want to send the spare troops down there. But that may be a bit yet, as the Udun Vale troops are still trying to kamikaze, and I forgot to launch the attack at S. Ithilien. But hopefully we can get at least a couple thousand down there soon enough.

Minas Tirith is situated on the Hill of Guard – the "out-thrust knee" of Mount Mindolluin, connected to the main mass of the mountain by a narrow 'shoulder'. It faces eastward towards Osgiliath, over the Pelennor Fields surrounding the city, fertile townlands stretching from the walls of the city proper to the Rammas Echor.
The city is built on the hill with seven concentric tiers cut on the hill culminating in the Citadel at the summit. The outer wall is called the City Wall and is black, of the same material used in Orthanc. The City Wall is vulnerable only to earthquakes capable of rending the ground where it stands.
Each of the seven levels stands 100 feet higher than the one below it and is surrounded by a white wall. Each wall holds a gate, and each gate faces a different direction: only the great gate and that of the seventh level face the east; the gate to the second level faces southeast, and that to the third faces northeast; so altering between the two such that the path up through the levels winds to and fro rather than following a straight line. An outcropping of rock as high as the seventh level bisects all the lower levels except the lowest on the line of the Great Gate. The winding path through the city therefore passes through tunnels in this 'keel' five times.
This is edited from Tolkien Gateway and is all canon, based off of the books.
In this RP, this HQ provides 35,000 MWE, as well as the standard # of SWE and NWE. It borders Anorien, Osgiliath, and Lebennin.
@mods: I've edited the (rather incomplete) starting post, replacing it mostly with content from LegoBuilder's Gondor HQ in the 3rd Age RP (The last two lines are my own additions). Both Legoaquilino and Legobuilder are fine with this.

This looks strangely familiar....
Hmm, I wonder why...

{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} Do you mean that evil has about 8,000 troops more than good, or 8,000 more than you specifically? IK Shamrock brought some troops down there earlier.
