Tolkien got a lot of his battle 'material' from when he was in the war, I think. I don't necessarily think that any battle was bigger than the other, but the Battle at the Pellennor Fields was definetly bigger than at Helm's Deep. I'm going to write more on this later, this isn't all I have to say!
I think that Terry Brooks is pretty good at writing battle scenes. He did just fine in the Sword of Shannara. (Tolkien was just a tad better though [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )
