Battles of Beleriand - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

"I like the idea of considering each of the battles of Beleriand in turn. I wonder, though, if you might also include those battles that did not warrant a number - some of them are quite important. I mean, for example, the Battle of Lammoth, the attack of the Orcs on Hithlum from the north, the Battle of Tumhalad, the Fall of Gondolin, etc."

That works for me, if there's sufficent interest. Of course, it will take a little time to
work out a sequence, and I believe somewhere (in HoME?) there is more
detailed descriptions of battles, such as the Fall of Gondolin. I have at least some
of them, but haven't really read much.

As for the First Battle of Beleriand, does anyone have any sources for
the numbers and composition of the forces?
