Battlefield 2 - is awesome. Grant, his new graphics card, and I will
play much of it this weekend. I hope to also have Drew and Steve over
for some Counter Strike action. It is pretty hard, but I am getting
better each time I play.

Oh
yea, forgot to mention this. Grant and I played a good measure of
Battle for Middle Earth this weekend. The map we played is the best
yet. It combines Minas Tirith, The Black Gate, Isenguard, and Helm’s
Deep, all on one map. (Download it.)
Each player gets a fortress and has at it will unlimited resources.
Grant fell to me once as Mordor and the second time as Gondor. Let me
tell you, Minas Tirith is a pain to break into. Used Grond and the
Balrog several times in order to break through the five gates in order
to accend through the city.

My plans were masterful. As Grant says, “If Henry ever retreats,
that means the real attack is about to begin - and you don’t know were
it is coming from…” I love hate to brag on myself, but in
this case it is warrented. As he was bulking up Minas Tirith I began my
assult on Helm’s Deep. I attack the side of the Deepening Wall with my
first wave of ladders, Uruks, Crossbowmen and Wargs to back them up. As
Grant send his Gate reinforecements to back up his knights of Rohan,
Grond attacked the Main gate, crushing it. When Grant saw the Wargs
tramling his elven archers, he cut his losses and fell back to Minas
Tirith.

When Grant was Isenguard and Mordor, I broke into Isenguard with a
switch hitter. Grant repelled my first two attacks on the gate. What he
did not realize was a second group was attacking the side wall. Once
that fell and all my units were “running away”, they were really
regouping to go into the side entrance. Once there, some heavy fighting
got my points up high enought to call the Army of the Dead, which took
out his well fortified city. Remember too, he had a thousand more
troops at his disposal.
