DAMNIT. I didn't bring 28K to a knife fight just to turn around. Melhed, you have deprived me of the last proof that I needed for my war plan's hypothesis!  >:(

We have others wars to fight if you are interested :p

I'll just come right out and say this: As a player I have a healthy amount of respect for Melhed for putting up a pretty decent fight. The ending was a bit anticlimactic but probably inevitable.
When Thalmarkans walked through the Sint land, castles went up for sale.

Well thank you! That means a lot to me. We tried... maybe with the discipline of a college frisbee team... but we tried.

Yup. Better to have a short, feisty war like this one than to have one that drags on forever and ends up destroying a big chunk of the map. Props to Melhed.

Then again, I won't be sure about this till all those lands are ours... :P

When peace is actually signed, I'll expound on what our strategy was, and hopefully Melhed folks will too. And then I'll explain why this war could've easily been won by either side.

Looking forward to it.

I really can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Yeah, that would be nice. I'll give a full account of my side once things settle, too. Maybe someone can put a write-up on the wiki for this war... I'd volunteer but I've got enough crap going on in BM and RL.

What you mean with write-up? The battles? I started it at wiki, but I was not sure what to put. I saved most rps about it and a few battles...

Thalmarkin steam-rolled Melhed's army in Bil Havil and scored a huge victory. Queen Maya sought a cease-fire with King Fingolfin to discuss terms of peace. Upon agreeing on a general framework, the cease fire was signed and it appears the armies are heading home, leaving the King and Queen to negotiate in Bil Havil.

Need I be an !@#$%^& every time?

I'm not really involved in BT affairs right now, and despite expecting Thalmarkin to win, I did not expect it this way.
