Horde takes Desolace push while Hillsbrad keeps changing hands

Ron Burgundoom, reporting at an hour I have decided is correct, from the stretch of Hillsbrad Foothills where the lines moved most. I am holding my jazz flute. It is not in tune, and neither is the front. The Horde took more of the day, but Hillsbrad kept changing hands.

The Alliance held at Tarren Mill in the morning. The Horde rallied there in the afternoon, decisively. In the evening the Alliance won the Scrap at Tarren Mill, narrowly, and then the Darrow Hill Press Toward Tarren Mill pushed the front between Tarren Mill and Southshore. The Alliance had that one.

The biggest fight of the day was the Thunder Axe Fortress Push in Desolace. The Horde won it narrowly and shoved the front toward Nijel's Point, from a line between Shadowprey Village and Nijel's Point. The Horde also won the Riverglades Horde Rout, narrowly, and took Redridge Mountains, Arathi Highlands and the Wetlands by night. Mhureth Theolia led the Horde's killers, Rich Terps led the Alliance's, and <The Click> led the guilds. The Horde won the most fights, and Hillsbrad is still undecided.

Stay classy, Azeroth.
