![]() Let's try this: Someone decided to stand with certain faction in a certain battle because of the sympathies with their leader and also because he could easily retreat if he stood with this faction. My questions: Who?

Who? Brodda, Ulfing Chieftan.
In what battle? Battle of Unnumbered Tears With what faction did he side? Morgoth and his followers. Brodda, in sympathy with his leader, Uldor the son of Ulfang, sided with Morgoth and his minions against the elves and other free people's of Middle Earth. Only thing I dont know about is the easy to retreat bit. ![]()

And that is very important. Sorry, not correct answer.
But it really isn't very hard, trust me ![]()

Who? Turgon of Gondolin
In what battle? Battle of Unnumbered Tears(i beleive) With what faction did he side? with his brothers. Turgon remained passive for awhile, during this battle he chose to come out but in the rearguard, when the battle turned he easily retreated back into Gondolin.

Nope. Though your reasoning is very good, Gil. But I can maybe add that the person, though one of the named reasons was the possibility of an easy retreat, did not in the end use this possibility, i.e. did not retreat.

Who? Maeglin
What battle? Fall of Gondolin What faction? Army of Morgoth Maeglin sided with them so he could obtain his passion, and with Gondolin surrounded he could easily escape if he allied them, but alas he was cast over the side of the walls to his death.
