Did the battle of Dagorlad go on for months? That is what I read on some site.I always thought it was a day's rush like Pellenor. Months would have had time to camp, recieve reinforcements, rest, medicaton and all. I mean armies fighting on a plain would not have places to hide or camp without being seen, and Mordor would definately have had the advantage of proximity. This becomes another seige again. And while all this was going on, Sauron would have been able to call for reinforcements and regrouped behind Morannon and the Alliance would have had a surprise waiting for them when they threw down the gate. No, a day or two's battle rush is better on Dagorlad.
