My first question is, why did he bother to use Legolas to shoot the Orcs when he should have known you were running a Hate deck?

Second question is, at site 5, why didn't you have Aragorn fight the Orc, Frodo Stealth the Balrog, and then have the Balrog fight Aragorn on the fierce? Would have saved you from having the Wallcrawler stacked on Swarms.

Final critique is that he shouldn't have discarded his two Armories at site 7. Better to save them until later on in the game when a Shadow kill is more likely. And he definitely shouldn't have wasted his Armories when Boromir tried to poke them with his Blade.

But nice job getting those two PATHS in your hand at the end!

Make sure you copy/paste the whole address. For some reason, this forum links only the part up to the dollar sign ($).

Yeah he definately made some mistakes in the game, as did I.

The Gorn thing at site 5 though had to be done the way I did it or else the 12 strgth orc would have overwhelmed either Frodo, Lego or Arwen.

Without watching it again, didn't he have just a Goblin Wallcrawler (str 8) and the Balrog against you? Aragorn was strength 10, so he could have beaten the Wallcrawler.

Just watched it again. Yes you're right, must have been getting confused with the 2nd game I played against this guy.
