I said 'the baddies will not have entered the picture yet', didn't I? Well that was rather vague of me. And foolish.
Of course I'd want the baddies in there! I really am losing my mind... Sauron began his invasion of Eriador in 1693, so no matter when we started, the baddies would already be on the move. They'd be carrying themselves on their own mostly, but I know they are more than capable of that when I look at who I have as orc players.
Sounds like a plan, that incorperates all of the above.
Sorry for being rather absent-minded.
