BO: Farm,BS>stable>bs>well>2 blacksmiths>archery ranger>outposts
Strat: Horses and some creeping>the brothers>archers>combos>gandalf
PP: Ew>heal>gtw>rohirrim>elves>eagles>aod

Pros:

Hobb harassmit on mills
Never lost any heros
Surviving with half your walls

Cons:

no harassment of his mills
lost a group of horses to a keep
you got outcreeped but not badly

Comments: This map is better for isen than for you and started you out with a disadvantage. You got some horses out and started creeping and did ok with that but then his attack hit and it crippled you. I was about to give up on you but gaydalf comes out
From there you had good harassment of his outposts but did get alot of your walls destroyed by bombs but he was stuck fighting you on your ew and you held him off. Good hero micro and strat.

Rating: 5

BO: 2 furn>pit>furns>siegeworks>expansion to outposts with armory and wargs
Strat: Did a fast siege rush and took down a bit of his base>sneak bombs attack>attacks in waves
PP:Warchant>industry>palantir>rain


Pros:

Creeping
Pretty good execution of fast siege rush
harassment (you had him pinned down almost all game)

Cons:

Industry was floating around for a while
Ram micro during that rush wasn't that good. The third one just sat there. Don't have the rams all attack the same spot.
Cash floating
This might have lost you the game: letting him fight on ew. I was yelling at the monitor to get tainted land.

Rating: 4

Comments: You had a great start thx in part to the map being tilted to the advantage of fod armies. You took out a couple of farms and was doing well with the siege rush that crippeled him. He got a bit lucky in getting gtw out. You seemed to have trouble killing those combos along with gandalf. 2 things might have changed that. 1. Would be building up a larger army instead of feeding him pps with small waves. 2. Would be cancleing his ew. OTher than that i have no idea what else would have helped.

Summary: This was a very entertaining game with pretty constant action (i only used fast foreward twice). There was good micro with the only hero being lost was lurtz. Isengard started off the action quickly was a siege rush and gondor countered with horses and archers. Back and forth action with no clear winner until the end.
