Battle For Middle-Earth Evil Campaign Map 24, Act 17 - Anorien

Starts with a large camp plot to the south west. Start building furnaces, an armoury & Warg Lair to help fulfil the objectives. Group all the Pikes to the east of the camp to protect against Cavalry attack.

Send the Wargs north to build a small camp with  resources builders & a keep for protection. Send them east to carry on scouting.

Came across another small camp to the north east so decided to send all troops to this point. It seemed to be obvious where the enemy camp was based.

To my surprise I came across the camp to the north east. I built 3 keeps on the small camp & defended against a few attacks & had a dash for the gate. I need to sacrifice a few Uruks to make room for 2 more hordes of Wargs but hopefully not full battalions. When I reached the gates they were closed but started to open.

I decided to use the Balrog for a quick bit of destruction.

I could have ended it here but I hadn't the command points to build another 2 Wargs hordes. I decided to go back to the last save & try again without the Balrog but still couldn't lose enough points without sending at least 4 battalion combos to the slaughterhouse. I would have to send in the Uruks & see if I could be careful enough not to lose too many. I rebuilt the camp near the Rohan camp with no extra defences & a Warg lair ready for when I had the spare command points.

The only thing I could do was surround the camp & let the towers kill a few of my Uruks until I had 40 spare command points. This way I could ensure that no complete battalion was wiped out & could easily get to a Warg lair

I managed to let my command point level get down from 740 to 520 without losing a single battalion. During the time available before they regenerated I managed to train the 2 Warg Hordes I needed. I left everyone at the camp to the east to regenerate.

With a small camp to the south east I decided to have a go at destroying the northern camp.

Found a small camp to the south & built keeps. No shortage of resources so will be a good defence for the western camp whilst I concentrate on the north.

Sent everyone to the northern camp whilst I summoned the Balrog. Unfortunately I lost an entire combo of Uruks as they were too close to the blast zone. Tried again after moving everyone away to the west.

He managed to destroy the gates & just about everything of use the Rohan.

Built a camp with resource builders & sent everything south to destroy the last small Rohan camp.

Objectives - Destroy all Good Forces & Build 4 hordes of Warg Riders. The second objective will be difficult considering I'm already well over the command point limit.

Prize for Total Victory - +10% Resources.
Total Score = 186,596 - Total Victory.

At this stage there are are still another 15 maps before I get to Minas Tirith but with both Saruman & Lurtz now on level 10 I decided to take the other armies our for a run. With my command points maxed out I may be able to boost these armies & keep them fully alive for the end battle. I went with the Mordor Army of 7 Mumakil, 2 Trolls & 130 Evil Men to Central Ithilien for +20% Resources.
