I'd like clarification on the hobbit move for undermountain as it appears he attempted to move it to "I sacrificed myself to hold back the W/P" which I believe is an invalid province... However, if I'm not mistaken, the first three letter valid territory in his orders are sacRIFiced indicating an attempted move to Rift Canyon... while I'm all for Hobbits floating in the ocean, I really would not like to see that unit there if at all possible
Great game Penner and thank you for sticking with it for so long.

Hi All,I love getting the commentary inclusions with your moves. But sometimes they are so confusing! Plots drawn up, but no one follows. Stabs occur, even though commentary seems to be so in sync. And then there are comments from those hanging on, which end up foretelling great futures.
And some Press!!!! ' treacherous dogs the lot of you, may siphilus plague your armies, and giants pluck the wings from your puny bodies'
Not sure if this was definitely aimed at the Faeries, but no other power has wings, do they? Then again, we don't have Giants in this game, so don't think the winged beings have much to worry about.
More press embedded in the Results (see Hobbits)
This round, there are almost as many failed moves as successes! But the lines that have been drawn seem to be darkening, and the final push to end game may be upon us.
