[Tar-Meneldur]

Just a What if?

Now, what if a coordinated attack from both Isengard and Mordor took place, instead of a singular attack from one of each at different times, would the outcome change in favor of Sauron? I know that Gondor did not give aid to Rohan, but Rohan did give aid to Gondor, which chould have proven a fatal blow to Gondor had Rohan been held down.

An attack of such size from two side would have tossed both sides into making them look back and forth due to the fact that if one fell the other surly would fall. The worry of such a thing would make the other lose valuable mental focus of the battle at hand. Now still I think Théoden would have moved his forces to Helms Deep, but Gandalf would have been having to deal with Minas Tirith because he knew the value it had to all humans.

The elves were a matter of their own, if there was an attack on Lórien from Dol Guldur it would have proven fatal to Sauron because his main focus would have be to the South, not the North. To control the lower Anduin would have helped Sauron gain a major point that would have forced any human forces to cross it, which would have heaped the number of humans dead, and would have been to risky to do with Isengard still in power as a back up.

From the lower land Sauron would move up and take Erebor therefore taking all the Anduin, which would have kept him safe from attack anywhere West of him the only way to attack him now would have been to attack from the North via the Grey Mountains. Yet that would be risky due to the fact that any forces would have to head up so far North were the cold would put a damper on the fight left in them.

Please tell me that I made so sense out of this. Also tell me what you think of the “What if?” case.
