{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} I have some good news and some bad news, to borrow the colloquialism.
Good news: the tide is turning in Lebennin. I've brought in 4,500 more MWE to battle MLB. Also, 4,000 Dwarves and their siege engines (500 TWE) are marching to war. They will arrive at Osgiliath in 6 days, or Lebennin in a week.
Cair Andros is still a fortress, and the rest of my regions are safe.
Bad news: Osgiliath has a high chance of falling, especially since there's a lot of TWE bombarding me. MLB and Sham are wrecking my defenses and smashing my pitiful siege engines. I'm trying to sink his siege ships, but MLB hates taking damage.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Try to sink the siege ships first with your artillery, then go for the other ships. As soon as Shamrock should try to cross the river, do everything you can to blow his rafts (or whatever transports he has) out of the water. It'll be a lot easier to sink his troops than to fight them off by hand.
Keep me up to date on how things progress. I may have 8L's troops come and assist you at Osgiliath instead, depending on the situation when the time comes.
{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} I'll try. I can definitely sink the rafts, but the Siege Ships could be a problem.
Yes, send troops to Osgiliath. I've brought 4,500 more MWE to Lebennin, so we're good there.
Because Evil has committed so many troops to this campaign against Gondor, any loss for them would be a major blow. If we can beat MLB at Lebennin, we can push south and crush Harad's diminished forces. If we can beat Shamrock at Osgiliath or Dagorlad(?) we can push into Mordor and take it out.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} I know. My troops are currently passing through Eregion, and will attack MM tomorrow. Of course, he would hate it even more if you were 8L right now. Nothing like having the same two users work together to intercept his reinforcing armies two separate times after they were forced back to pass through a missed region.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} I think MM already hates me. I know that if he doesn't yet, he will after I attack GT and prevent his troops from regenerating. Though I have a feeling I may need you to help 'convince' MM that he can't regenerate his troops.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} So Rex, 8L had Lothlorien's troops on two fronts that I know of. First is the Dimrill Dale. I think he has about five thousand troops there, but you'll have to find his troop list yourself. The second is a little bit north, in the Vales of the Anduin and the Wilderland. Again, you'll have to track down his exact numbers yourself.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Awesome, thanks! Do you have any idea what 8L's plans were at the Dimrill Dale? Last I heard he was in a pretty difficult situation there.
Central Mirkwood - My ambush worked beautifully, and Tuvok's troops are currrently in retreat. We paused to determine losses, and I've lost around 675 MWE to his 2,500 MWE. Hopefully he decides to abandon CM soon, or at least pull in reinforcements, giving us the chance to strike elsewhere.
Lebennin - While technically not my region, I have troops there, so I might as well. Currently MLB and I are having a bit of a debate there (just a reminder, KitKat, I did request your opinion there). So until that's decided, I'm at a pause in the combat, which is a good thing, seeing as we have thousands of reinforcements arriving over the next few days.
Dagorlad - Friendly reminder that there is still 10,000 MWE sitting there (perhaps they did move, but Sham didn't post in the region saying that they did, so I'm still not sure). Everyone is advised to watch there borders if they do move.
VOA and West Rhovanion - Pause in the action until either Tuvok or 8L/SMB makes the first move.
{JAMMERS! GOOD ONLY!} Alright, I guess this is an official IDEA update:
- Eregion: Currently attacking MM's forces there. I outnumber him slightly, but he has some fortifications, and an overall better defensive position. Nothing much to report yet.
- Enedhwaith: Currently waiting for Shamrock to respond there. He's made some tactical errors in attacking the fort, and I think I can make him pay. Either way, I don't think he'll be able to do much with my main force, which is twice what he has there.
- Dunland: Not sure if this is mine, but hey, I'm attacking it, so yah. Me and LA have moved into position, and are attacking his first line of defense. So far all seems to be going well.
- High Pass: Again, not mine, but I'm fighting there. Currently debating with MM whether he would be able to blast the entrance to the Front Porch larger, to allow tanks to get thru. See next location.
- Rivendell. While we're all fighting over the higher portion of the High Pass, MM sent his regenerated forces along the lower pass to attack Rivendell. I have 1k elves there right now, but may need more troops. I could pull elves out of the High Pass, but I'm not sure how effective that would be, there's only 2k there. I was currently gathering a small army to send south to Gondor, but I'm thinking that those may need to be diverted to Rivendell. Sorry LB.
