Indeed that would from my next §, as it does in our version as you have it.

Why do you think it should come before the meeting with Asgon?
Húrin meet Asgon at the crossing of Taeglin, so how could Húrin before that gather any of the wood-men that lived south of Taeglin? Or do you consider that the wood-men all left their former homes at the time of Túrins activity with the Outlaws and that Húrin did not gather them from south of Taeglin but from within Brethil?
If that would be the case than "having no homes or lands of their own" would realy fit them very well.

Really that is case to be considered: Did all the wood-men left their homes and did Húrin gather them from Brethil? Or did he gather the last remants that still lived south of Taeglin?
