[Beanamir of Gondor]

Of course, they would have to be different. Silly orcs probably used the same tactics, and that's why they got just as badly slaughtered at the Pelennor as they did at Helm's Deep. After all, first they see that crazy horseman Eomer screaming "Guthwine! Guthwine!", and they get all confused and think Is it just me, or is this deja vu all over again?

I kinda saw the difference between those two battles--Pelennor and Helm's Deep--as the difference between the Irish Wall (Fredericksburg) and Pickett's Charge (Gettysburg), for those of you who know any details about the American Civil War. At FB, a bunch of Yanks march up the field for about a mile, getting shot and wiped out, while they try and try and try to take a wall covered with Rebs. Then two years later, at GB, a bunch of Rebs march up a different field for about a mile, getting shot and wiped out, while they try and try and try to take a wall covered with Yanks.
So, in comparison--those Uruks march to Helm's Deep, kick some tail at a fortress that's supposed to be unstoppable, and get wiped out from behind just as they get ahead by the cavalry. Then again at the Pelennor, they kick some tail at a fortress that's supposed to be unstoppable, and get wiped out from behind just as they get ahead by the cavalry. YOU THINK THEY WOULD HAVE LEARNED BETTER, THE ZARKING FOOLS!!

I'm sorry, was that annoying and pointless? I think it was. =D
I'm going to another thread now. Sorry 'bout that, Warbringer and friends.
