Gondorian Soldiers Vs. Rohirrim Soldiers

[Snowdog]

Gondorians without any doubt. The Rohirrim are good, but let's face it, they're not a standing army like the Gondorians, few of them have had formal combat training, they're generally smaller in stature, and their armor is vastly inferior to the Gondorian's all-over steel plate.

True. I think on a man-for-man standing, the soldier of Gondor is better at the art of war than the Rohirrim.

However, The Rohorrim are lighter armed and armored because they're primarily calvary whereas the soldiers of Gondor are either seige infantry ( Minas Tirith) Light infantry (Ithilien Rangers), or armored calvary (led by Faramor to Osgoliath).
Still, I think the morale issue plays a big part in it as does battle fatigue.
