First the bad news - Saruman got caught by Rohan cavalries in Parth Celebrant. Suspicious folk as they are, the cavalry soldiers swiftly executed the old man. That means Saruman is eliminated and the rest of the units go into Civil Disorder. Harad and Easterlings are also now finally eliminated. Sauron has no centers, but spiders don't mind!
Well, actually, that doesn't matter. Both Dwarves and Gondor reach the supply center amount required for the victory this turn. Dwarves score 15 centers, four of which (Khazad-Dum, Grey Mountains, Erebor, Iron Mountain) score one extra point. Gondor, however, has quite nice total of 23 centers (scoring six builds for the adjustment phase ;-) and that's more than the Dwarves have.
So, congratulations for Yoav for winning this exciting game! Next round will start as soon as we have one more player (so, if either Ray or Matt want to play, better sign up fast!). More about this game will follow in a separate message.
