Tolkien's Battles - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkiens battles were great but i would like to know more about the battle of sudden flame. However Tolkien never mentioned how they defended on a battlefield, he gave a great description of Helm's Deep but he never mentioned Schiltrons or caltraps. I'm sure only Sauron would be cruel enough to use caltraps but still. Tolkien wrote battles really well though. I remember reading the Pelennor fields over and over again. It was so great. If you had looked at me you would have seen a hero halo (It's a Celtic thing don't ask)
