Wow! That's an impressive piece of work, and I like your comments. You're right that the Pelennor Fields timeline is unusually dicey (and even before that, could even the Rohirrim ride 18 hours a day for very long? I mean, ouch). Don't know how much the EE can do about that.<P>One thing that's always bothered me about Gandalf's imprisonment in Orthanc only lasting a short time (six days, not thirty) is the amount of devastation that Saruman works while Gandalf is still there. Granted, Saruman is a wizard and has a lot of nasties working for him, but six days seems like a really short time to build up a complex as huge as what Gandalf was seeing.
