{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} Just a refresher on everyone's starting orders, to make sure everyone knows what they need to do when we start:
Bree: Claim Eriador. Set up blockades at Tharbad, and somewhere to block Gundabad (Angmar, or the North Downs and Lone Lands).
Rivendell: Get a foot in the door at the High Pass for the Beornings (you should be able to pull out once they arrive), and blockade Hollin (at least to the North, if not all the way to Moria's doorstep).
Mirkwood: Keep Dol Guldur busy. Provide backup to other HQs if called upon.
Lothlorien: Blockade the Dimrill Dale, capture Redhorn Pass if you can. Secure the surrounding area with the Beornings.
Fangorn: Blockade the West Emnet/Gap of Rohan. Capture as many regions to the East as possible until you meet resistance.
Beornings: Contest the Goblins at the High Pass. Capture the surrounding area with Lothlorien.
Dale: Capture as many regions to the south as possible. Be a pain to Rhun. Reinforce allies as necessary.
Erebor: Invade Gundabad.
Iron Hills: Capture the Forodwaith. Be prepared to defend the Hills from Rhun if necessary.
Minas Tirith/Dol Amroth: Secure Gondor. Set up blockade at Pelargir. Blockade Osgiliath and Cair Andros/Anorien (fall back to Pelennor Fields as last resort).
Also, we're going to try out my IDEA. You guys will be watching your assigned regions, and I'll be analyzing your reports. Post your reports here as often as necessary to keep me up to date on any happenings. Specifically let me know about army movements and jammers (including their locations, who's doing what).
Here are your assignments. If you're going to be gone at any time, let me know so that I can have someone else keep an eye out for you. If someone's engaged in battle or otherwise frequents a given region (if, for example, they own it), feel free to let them take care of that region in their reports. Just make sure that they all get done.

Specifically, Forlindon, Harlindon, Forochel, Northern Ered Luin, Southern Ered Luin, Evendim, North Downs, Angmar, The Shire, the Old Forest, Bree, Weathertop, the Lone Lands, Ettenmoors, Trollshaws, Rivendell, Eregion, Cardolan, Minhiriath, Enedwaith, Dunland, Adorn, and Druwaith Iaur.
8L 21: The Northeast, meaning the Forodwaith, Gundabad (I'll take care of it for now), Withered Heath, Dale, Esgaroth, Celduin, West Rhovanion, East Rhovanion, South Rhovanion, Dorwinion, Rhun, Khand, Wilderlands, The Carrock, The High Pass, Goblin-town, the Gladden Fields, the Vales of the Anduin, Redhorn Pass, Moria, Dimrill Dale, and Lothlorien.

KK: I will be analyzing your reports. You can also assume that I'll be watching any regions I own or am attacking, along with Evil's council topic.
Let me know if I missed anywhere.
Everything understood? Let me know if you have any problems with any of this stuff.
Sounds good! And with LA back, I won't have to lead Fangorn anymore, right?
Im back now guys. i'm really sorry for going inactive.
This is an interesting development. Until we get someone to lead Isengard, you're going to have to either lead Fangorn or join a different HQ. We can't have Rohan without Isengard.

now that I have ents, there won't be an isengard even is CC comes back.
I can't believe I had the same awful signature for nearly 8 years. Sorry for disappearing for 2 months, life happened for a bit.
{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!}I believe I have my army ready to attack MM in Forodwaith. My only concern is that I'm leaving the Iron Hills with 1.5K DWE as a defense against Thrawn's forces. Also, Thrawn could and probably will enter Forodwaith as well. I'd appreciate some support in holding him off until I've beaten MM.
I plan to use the Shield-bearers as protection for the archers so they can keep firing throughout the battle. The Barashathur will mop up after each Shock-boar charge before the Axemen come in to finish the job. I can also use the Axemen as linebreakers if necessary, although that's probably what the Shock-boars will do. The Macemen will most likely be used as flankers. The more pointy sticks they avoid the better. The Doppelsoldners are there to deal with any elites that MM might have, and knowing him, he'll most likely have a lot.
{JAMMERS! -Good- ONLY!} IDEA REPORT!: Rhun: Rhun is sending 3000 troops each into Dorwinion, East Rhovanion, South Rhovanion, and 6000 troops into the Forodwaith. Khand: Khand sent 5000 troops north into Rhun, its too early to tell where they are going, but they are defently going to focus on Rhovanion. Dol Guldor: Dol Guldor sent 3000 to The old Brown Lands, and 3000 to W. Rhovanion, as well as 4000 to VOA, and 7000 to Central Mirkwood, which leaves 3000 MWE at the HQ. I didn't expect him to focus so much on Rhovanion, but I don't really see him expanding from there.
Moria: Moria has sent 5000 orcs into the dimral dale I should be able to hold them easily.
Goblin Town: Goblin Town sent 5,300 MWE to the high pass, and 5,000 to the Gladden fields.
Gundabad: I believe they sent 5000 MWE North to Forodwaith.
I think thats it, I'll to a status update with my movement next.
Lothlorien: I've claimed Celbrent, I'm fighting a force 5000 MWE strong in the Drimml Dale, and I sent some elves to the VOA. I should be able to hold at the Dale, but I don't want to push through to the Redhorn, because I feel like that would be a trap. Celebrent, no enemys there yet, should be fine. VOA, Dol Guldor has 4000 MWE there, I sent 1000 MWE from Lothlorien, and an undecided number of Beornings.
Beornings: I Got wilderland with out conflict so that should be safe for now, but MM is in the gladden fields with 5000 MWE I could send 6000 MWE there, and send 3000 to the VOA once Wilderland is secured. Thats proably what I will do. I will have equal MWE as Dol Guldor, so if I could get some help there say 1000 MWE or so that would be great.
Dale: I sent out my armies, havn't met any oposition yet, I'll see what tomarrow holds.
{JAMMERS! Good ONLY!} - Bree is now sending out armies, I've already claimed several regions that I should take uncontested (Shire, Old Forest, etc. )
- Currently fighting/about to fight MM at the High Pass. He has nothing but Tanks, trebuchets, and pikemen. I should be able to hold out for a while, but I'll need help if we want to actually take the region.
- In addition to Shamrock's force, MM also have 5k orcs at Eregion. However, he's made it clear that these are going for Rivendell itself. We're currently in an argument about troop positions (it's becoming a hobby ), as I'm trying to stop him with the 6,500 MWE of Elves that I have there. However, if he gets by me, I may need to pull out of Eregion in order to defend Rivendell. But hopefully that can be avoided.
- Most of my troops are out, but I do have about 2-3k MWE in reserve at Bree. I may need those to defend Rivendell, but they may be able to help elsewhere, although they would take a while to get anywhere.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} You'll want to play a pretty defensive game up there. I'll try to get you some reinforcements, but until then, you need to hold out yourself. Try to minimize losses as much as possible, even to the point of doing less damage. Also make sure you grab the Withered Heath.
{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!} IDEA Update: Dol Guldur: Sent at least 17,000 troops in several different areas (those reported by 8L). Central Mirkwood: I have over 6,000 troops there (over 15,000 MWE), and Dol Guldur sent 7,000 troops ther (MWE unknown s of yet). So far I'm only disappointed Tuvok didn't bother to send more. The Brown Lands: 2,000 from Dol Guldur have taken the Brown Lands. Gap of Rohan: 1,000 Dunlendings have taken the Gap. The Morannon: 12,000 of Mordor's troops have taken the Morannon and will take Dagorlad tomorrow. Nothing else of note aside from this.
