{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Thanks for being so prompt, LB.
I'd like to discuss our strategy at Osgiliath, seeing as that is especially important right now. I have about 2,000 MWE there along with your troops. We're slightly outnumbered and greatly outgunned. I have only 5 trebuchets to face the enemy's 32. But we do have several scorpions, and we need to figure out how to use them to our advantage. Any idea if we can pull reinforcements in, maybe get an attack on the enemy's flank?

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} I would keep the defences at Anorien and Cair Andros, but Minas Tirith on't fall any time soon. Bring in, say, 2-3k MWE from there and we'll be able to hold out at Osgiliath.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} KitKat , I know you wanted idea reports, so even though your gone I might as well. And 8legos , this might be significant to you as well.
Two major developments right now: 1) I'm beginning to break down the outer wall of Dol Guldur to the north, and - given the troops Tuvok has - I should be able to sack Dol Guldur itself. However, it seems Tuvok and MM are conspiring, and I think MM might attempt to bring reinforcements in. If anyone sees this happening, please try to stop him if you're able; and 2) direct combat might begin soon at West Rh., but so far it's looking like Tuvok will take severe casualties before he can touch me. I'll keep you guys posted.
Right, so KK is going to be slightly inactive for a while, but I'd like our attempts to jumpstart the RP to continue. And in doing so we need to start getting our reports in - all troops, the battles they are in, the number and types of enemy troops/siege weapons they are facing, which regions are held and how many are there to defend them - everything. As KK said, this should mostly be easily accomplished with copy and paste, but you plans will need to be posted along with this. As always, make sure you post the report in jammers. The enemy doesn't need to know our plans.
If you can, please try to get this all done in a week's time. If you're going to be busy, let me know how long it will be before you can get back to this.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} I'll try to move some of my archers to your rangers and help out there. Unfortunately Sham is being pretty irritating with his "levelling," so I have to work around that.

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!}Perhaps some of our troops can run up and deploy barricades that the trebuchets can't hit. That would force him to attack us and he'd also have to stop his artillery barrage for risk of friendly fire. Also, 3K MWE is on the way from Minas Tirith. I'll leave them in the Pelennor Fields until they're needed.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Could you explain how the trebuchets couldn't hit these barricades? I'm having a hard time picturing this. And thanks for mobilizing those troops so quickly!

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} By bringing them close enough that the trebuchet can't shoot low enough to hit them. Isn't there a minimum angle of elevation for their shots?
{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} I've got a good amount of troops sitting in the Iron Hills right now. I could send them down through Rhovanion and Rhun to hit Mordor from behind and relieve the pressure on Gondor.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} That might work... The only problem I can see is that Sham will argue that he's levelled the area and our troops won't be very stealthy. Which is ridiculous, of course.
