OVERVIEW
Ûvatha gained 29 MPs and placed 8th among Ringwraiths. There was room for Mps for some
characters under GI. Six of the seven factions were played. Only Wain-Easterlings were not in
play; it was discarded earlier. On the last turn, this player influenced to discard only this faction
in play by King Vidugavia. CvCC occurred during the middle of the game. Four of the six allies
were killed. All but one item was not played. Faction wars will remove faction MPs. Three
characters were not played – only one eliminated. One company, Ulrac’s, faced many strikes
compared to others. Only Steeds was not used much; not until the second deck. Creatures too
were useless. Only one creature of 19 was played during the first turn. It improved for the second
deck: two played. Just 8 creatures played the entire game. However, only 3 of hazard events were
not played during the first deck. That was the balance. Two-thirds of the turns experienced either
tapping the site or something like CvCC.
I felt confident moving with companies and keeping characters untapped. Well, only three
creatures faced in the first 12 turns. Two moving companies were formed early. Ûvatha moved
often – to 7 non-haven sites. Agents were a great success.

Going well. 12 MPs. Played Easterlings and Ovatha's Bow.
Three agents yet to be drawn. Fast play of hazards.
Will leave above PDF of previous game notes for a while for you to compare.
