The orc heads hewed by Huor 'piled...as a mound of gold in the sunset.'... Not after the sunset, in the sunset... meaning as the sun went down.
I'm reading that Hurin fought in the same sunset. You are adding time and orc slaying rate times, wrap-up time, etc. (all unaccounted for in the text) all in a forced effort to match the Olog-hai reference in the appendice F. Whereas I add nothing. I simply read the words.
I'm not pretending to know how the trolls and orcs attacked, their formations or their actions. I only know that 70 trolls were dead, Hurin was caught and the sun at last went down.
Since we've both reiterated our stance here many times, lets call it a truce and end the debate between us. Someone else can challenge one or both of us if they have the notion.
If you feel obligated to state your stance one more time, I understand. I can't seem to stop either <img src=smile.gif ALT="
