{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!} 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!} 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.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Excellent. Wait for combat to continue at Lebennin so the enemy is preoccupied, and as soon as that happens you can begin the attack. Be careful, though, make sure there isn't anyone behind you as you do this.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} I totally agree. So here's the plan: you move your rangers in from the south, while I'll move my own strike team in from the north. Well do this by night, so it should be a bit more effective. I'm bringing in more siege engines, so once our attacks begin, I'll have my trebs open fire. Once all this happens, we can move our entire force (including your troops from Minas Tirith) directly against his troops. Hopefully with everything going on can at the very least take out the trebuchets. Thoughts?

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} Good. Well, last time I tried something by night (an infiltration mission with the same Rangers I have now), he said that the Orcs' night vision allowed them to see and shoot the Rangers. Thankfully, they're Orcs, and they missed.
Other than that, it sounds great. I could bring some shock cavalry if it would be useful. Otherwise, I'll bring Lossarnarch Axemen, Osgiliath Guards to hold the line, and lots of Archers. Perhaps a few Heavy Crossbows as well.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} I saw that, but even an orc would have a very difficult time making out such skilled troops. If he tries to argue against it I'm pretty sure I can beat him in that respect too.
I wouldn't bring cavalry, though I see what yours thinking. The problem with that is he will say the ruins are too uneven for a cavalry charge. I'd go with those other units.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} I would wait. Even though it's a great idea, we can't raise attention before they're occupied elsewhere. For now, you and I should try to get the battle at Lebennin going again.
{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} Sorry I was gone, then I got lazy, and most recently I've been distracted with other things. But I'm back and ready to take controll of my empire once again.
Whats the state of things, and is there anything I need to know?

{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} The War for Gondor has begun. Rex and I are preparing to do battle against Shamrock's Orcs in Osgiliath, and Lebennin is still a slog.
I have Dalian forces in Lebennin that you can take command of if you want. Rex is besieging Dol Guldur, and the Iron Hills are preparing for a surprise attack against Mordor's backside.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Noted. We need to get reinforcements in there fast, especially more siege engines, or this whole thing is going to fail quickly. If you or anyone can do this without compromising our position at Lebennin, please hurry.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} I've got I think two thousand troops with plenty of artillery in the Dimrill Dale. If they're not needed there, I could send them down.
