i belive tolkien did the best job any writer could of done with his battles, because they were descriptive enough to give u a partially clear picture but left enough blurry for you to use ur imagionation which is what fantasy writings are about, hense all the diffrent paintings that have been made by artists about Lotr, if he made them to realistic and detailed, there would be no room for the creativity of the mind to work, if tolkien didnt write his battles, and for that matter the whole books like he did, none of us would be here discussing this
