{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?
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} The usual 1,000 MWE and 100 SWE, nothing more to my knowledge. And I guess the added benefit of annoying evil and securing one of the final regions that borders the White Mountains, not that it counts for too much.
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!} Hmm, that might be a problem. I'd send aid, but there really isn't a viable way for me through/across the Mountains. Tho the Redhorn Pass...I gotta check that.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Let Rohan and Bree worry about it, you've got enough on your plate right now. Deal with your current invasion, then start looking to new opportunities when trying to take advantage of them won't put the rest of your kingdom at stake.
{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} Bree's fleet is now complete and en route to Dol Amroth. LegoBuilder0925, just hold out a few more days.
Also, I had gathered a bunch of troops at the Havens, and was only able to put a small portion of them on ships. So I have about 5k extra MWE there RN. Should I construct some transports and send them to Gondor as well? Or should I keep them closer to home for now?

{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} Alright, Shamrock is sending basically all of the orcs at Eregion to the Trollshaws. As I told him, he'll have to go through Rivendell, but that probably won't stop him. I'm going to send about half my force at Tharbad to the Trollshaws; the rest will either stay put, or attack Enedhwaith, depending on how adventurous I'm feeling.
Also, for KitKat: There's been some jammers between MM and Shamrock at Eregion. Probably just discussing Moria plans and whatnot.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Is he taking the ford, or crossing the river with some sort of boats or rafts? I'm going to pull out of Rivendell and reinforce the Trollshaws. I'll leave some of my artillery with you, but I think you can hold Rivendell with what you have.
Let me take care of the Trollshaws. I can handle five thousand troops just fine. Take your Tharbad force and invade the Enedwaith. Evil's on the offensive a little too much in Eriador, so go make them worry a little bit. Take about eight thousand troops or so and capture the Enedwaith. If Evil takes it back later, that's fine, but give them something to squeal about for a bit. Rivendell and the Trollshaws can both take care of themselves just fine. And be quick about starting the invasion. Shamrock's wooden fort will burn nicely, but he's just started a stone wall which will be much more difficult. Attack before he builds up his defenses too much.

{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} I'm not sure. He simply said that 5k orcs go to the Trollshaws. I told him he either had to go through Rivendell (where the ford is) or something else.
Alright, that sounds good. I'll invade Enedhwaith right away. If you need any extra troops in the Trollshaws, let me know.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Okay. Well, I'll be waiting for him when he arrives. If he should wimp out and join on the attack on Rivendell, I'll move in and ambush them from behind.
Gut! That I will do, though I think I'll be fine. Oh, and how would you like to play a little game with Evil (mainly Shamrock)? Or perhaps a little psychological experiment? Leave the troops that you had headed for Rivendell/Trollshaws in Cardolan. Continue your attack on the Enedwaith, but only keep the five hundred troops that you currently have at Tharbad. (though you can have some pass through if you want some more troops in the EnedwaithI wa). nt to see what Evil will do if you leave Tharbad weak. Tempt them into invading, then bring the troops from Cardolan in to reinforce the defense. Or, if they don't attack, you could cross the river and invade Eregion from behind, should they leave that open.

*Cringe* You might wanna fix your original post. And hope that evil hasn't read it yet. Anywho:
Well, this whole Enedhwaith thing was easier than I thought. Shamrock's troops burned the fort and fled the region the minute I arrived. I'm gonna start building a fortress there. But I'm simultaneously tempted to press the attack elsewhere (Eregion/Dunland), and worried that this may be some sort of trap.
Either way, I'll certainly keep a smaller garrison at Tharbad for the time being. The troops at Cardolan...I'll wait and see for a day or two before going anywhere with those. They could be used in Rivendell/Trollshaws, but we probably (hopefully) won't need them there. I could also send them to join the force in Enedhwaith, in whatever they do. Thoughts?

I fixed it. I think I saved it; it didn't look like any evil RPers were on before I fixed it.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} This is a terrible idea, so you really should listen to me. But if I were you, I'd go for Dunland. Leave them where they are for now, and see what Evil decides to do.

{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} Wait, what's a terrible idea? Going to Dunland? Then why should listen to you?
But no, I agree, it's time to put pressure on evil. MM just pulled all his troops out of Rivendell, apparently he decided that wouldn't work. They're in Eregion now, along with Shamrock's 5k; not sure where they'll be going from there.
Well, if I'm going to attack Dunland, I'm probably going to need those troops there. I only "attacked" Enedhwaith with 4,500 troops, which (by my calculations) is hardly more than what's currently at Dunland. So I'll need at least some of those troops to have any chance of success, especially if MM sends his troops south.

I doubt that MLB will be able to take Dol Amroth. He has naval superiority, but almost no infantry. He won't be able to seize the citadel.
Lebennin will fall, but I'm trying to hold out long enough for my defenses at Minas Tirith to finish. My blockade at Pelargir did nothing, as MLB apparently can cross the river anywhere he wants on rafts.
None of my other regions are under attack. Osgiliath is a standoff, and Cair Andros is becoming a strong fortress.
I'm preparing Andrast so it can serve as a new capital for Dol Amroth in case the city of Dol Amroth falls. It's heavily fortified against attacks from the north, and I can build more defenses to the east to keep MLB out.
Finally, MLB's Troll-men are now impervious to arrow fire. He protected the Troll-men's front line in Lebennin, but when all 900-some of my archers fired at him, he said that the Troll-men took no casualties.
Also finally, would a phalanx do much against Troll-men? I could perform small charges every now and thing to impale many of them if it works correctly.

{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} Appparently MLB is taking most of his ships to meet mine in combat in the open sea. But if you can hold out at DA, that's good.
I'm sending about 5k MWE to Gondor via the sea. They'll be landing at Andrast in a few days. Let me know before then where they should go from there.
Are these troll-men the ones that I said should be higher in MWE? If so, then that only reinforces my point. Anyways, it sounds like he'll probably try to use them in the way that Dre/MM use(d) their trolls, albeit in larger numbers but less powerful. A phalanx probably wouldn't do much good. Siege engines are definitely the best way to defeat them, if you have any. Or mammoths, if you have those.
