Battles of the late Third Age - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hmmm, a heavy task. Could be interesting though; but as I'm about to log off I'm afraid I don't have time right now. The list seems more or less complete, the Ent attack on Isengard not really being a 'battle' in the sense of the word. Anyway no discussion of it could really be possible. Also, I wouldn't include this:
'3002 - Eomund killed in battle with orcs in the Emyn Muil' as it was just another skirmish -- Eomund went into an attack on some Orcs with only a few men, and got slaughtered. Not really a battle, but you can consider it as such if you choose, I suppose.
Not all of these battles need be discussed. But some of them could concievably be interesting enough, I'll be back tomorrow if you or anyone else wants to start a specific discussion on one of them.
