{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Alright, LA has given me the okay to take 4,000 MWE of Rohirrim to Gondor, plus some 50-100 ents (still waiting to figure out where those will be from). So that will be somewhere around 5,000 MWE, plus LegoBuilder 's 4,000 MWE at Lebennin. So around 9,000 MWE, some SWE, and an uncomplete castle versus 19,000 MWE. Any suggestions as to how we can hold out? They'd be much appreciated.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} IDEA Report: Not much. Tuvok and I have engaged in combat at Central Mirkwood, and just two moves in and my archers have already lowered his numbers significantly, with my own force almost completely intact. My hidden strike team will be moved into position soon. Just waiting for him to use his trolls.
Moving on, the Rohirrim have claimed the entirety of Rohan, aside from the Gap, which LA is sending 7,500 Rohirrim and 100 ents to take. I'm waiting on Qui to inform us what his plan is, so I'm not sure when/if I'll be bringing reinforcements to Gondor yet, and I don't know when the attack on Isengard will begin.
Mordor has moved 5,000 MWE to Cirith Ungol, presumably to reinforce the troops attacking Osgiliath, or maybe Cair Andros.
I have troops with 8L at West Rhovanion (around 3,000 MWE), and I might pull most of my cavalry out of the Wilderland to assist there (or the VoA) where they'd be of more use. MM isn't in a good position for my cavalry to do anything, hence why I'd be moving them out.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Well, I thought you could, but perhaps I was wrong. We'll see what KK says about it, but if it turns out you can't enter that way, just get all those ents over to the Gap of Rohan and have them help take out the garrison there.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Well, Tuvok is doing exactly what I expected him to do. He split up his forces to attack my flanks. xD Does evil ever use a different strategy? It's too obvious. So anyways, I sent my reserve forces to protect the flank and then my elite strike team attacked. I estimate he's probably lost somewhere near 2,000+ MWE at this point, maybe even more. Just a quick update on the situation there. And if all goes well, I can defeat him quickly there and move on to attack Dol Guldur, which would likely result in us gaining several contested regions.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} No, one arm of the Misty Mountains separates Isengard from Fangorn. The only way to access Isengard is to pass through at least the eastern side of the Gap. You could argue that he wouldn't yet have had time to wall of the entire Gap, though, and so your army invading there could hold down his forces for the Ents to reach Isengard.

There is an attack on Rivendell, but the vast numbers of troops I expected haven't showed up. ATM, it's just 5k orcs from Moria.
9R's troops are definitely not attacking Rivendell. 8k are passing thru Moria, almost certainly headed for Dimrill Dale. The other 4k are heading south, most likely to the Gap.
Aside from those, Shamrock has 5k orcs and 3k Dunlendings in Eregion. Not sure where those will be going, we'll have to wait and see, I guess.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Once 9R and Shamrock engage whatever their targets are, I suggest taking a force into the Enedwaith. They've got two thousand troops there in a mere wooden fort, which we could easily light up. Invading what is such a crucial region for Moria and Isengard's cooperation would force them to pull troops out of each of their battles, and would make everyone's lives a good bit easier. Either that, or we cut Isengard off from Moria completely.

{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} Yeah, I could easily cause major destruction there. Ofc, Shamrock could also pull a few thousand Dunlendings to aid there, but I'd probably still win. My gut is telling me that attacking there isn't a good idea, but I'm not really sure why, so...yeah.
Still, I'll certainly wait to see where they take the spare troops in Eregion.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} Depending on how many troops 9ringwraith has at Adorn, I may be able to capture it for Dol Amroth. What are the benefits of capturing this region?
