Alliance edges Horde in narrow Stranglethorn Vale battle
Ron Burgundoom, reporting from the front
Ron Burgundoom here, holding a leather-bound book I have been told is upside down. I intend to read the news from it anyway. The Alliance won the Alliance Triumph at Nesingwary's Expedition in Stranglethorn Vale on the Americas PvP world, and the margin was narrow. The Horde suffered 114 deaths. The Alliance suffered 98.
The battle began at 2:43 AM EST on Sunday, November 8, and ended at 9:22 AM EST. That is 400 minutes, which is a long time to be awake in a jungle. It was close all the way. The Alliance took the last 15 minutes by 4 kills to 3, and that was the whole difference. Genesis Rhapsody of <Raging Tempest> took 7 kills, the most of any player on the field. Power Lopez of <Girth> added 3. Lana Delvoid of Hate took 2. <Raging Tempest> led all guilds with 7 kills, and <Girth> followed with 3.
