Game Turn 8
Sauron Turn
Orcs have caught the Gondor garrison in the southern half of the
city,
but Imrahil's men fight off all attacks.
In the northern half of the city, the threat of burning oil keeps
the orcs at bay.
Outside Minas Tirith, Sauron's cavalry moves to block the advance
of the Riders of Rohan in the bottlenecks between the grove hexes
and the map-edge.
Cavalry units are not allowed to enter grove hexes.
Westernesse Turn
Inside Minas Tirith, Gandalf and the men with him retreat
up another level. Meanwhile, Imrahil's men repel two orc
units scaling the wall and throw down their ladders.
Elsewhere in the city (not shown in the image), battles
between the invaders and isolated groups of valiant
defenders result in heavy losses of orcs. Still no city level
has yet been completely cleared of garrison units.
The lead units of the Riders of Rohan relief column charge into
the Harad horse screen and make a dent but don't break through.
Rohan horse archers pepper the Mumakil blocking units with arrows, causing one to panic and stampede right off the map.
