In Australia we had a huge debate between the FP and the DS of
    game 1.  This was all due to the fact that Northern and Southern
    Gondor had just come stomping into Mordor with 9,000 troops.  Now
    the people we had defending Mordor were lucky if they had 1/3 of
    that amount of troops, so of course the Gondors were having a
    great time in Mordor.  The Dog Lord and the Blind Sorcerer who
    had been playing around up north turned around to help out in
    Mordor.  On the way back to Mordor the Dog Lord was lucky enough
    to have his emmissaries run into not one but two dragons.  Even
    better they joined the same army.

This way when the Dog Lord got to Mordor he faced off 7000 troops
    at the IK capital, with 3000 troops and 2 Dragons, and 2000 IK
    heavy infantry.  The FP troops were totally anialated, thus
    saving our hides and causing Northen and Southern Gondor great
    distress.

Out of our email debate that occured following this, the general
    concensus was that, dragons were an unfair advantage to the DS,
    but with out dragons, the DS really can't face up to the FP.
    This is due to the FP having such a Huge economic advantage over
    the DS.  Maybe if dragons didn't give out such a huge damage,
    things might be a bit fairer.  Well that's my view from game 1 in
    Australia.  (Oh yeah I was playing a DS in that game)
