Battles of the late Third Age

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Pathfinder, welcome to the 'Downs! Enjoy decaying, the stinky aroma of unembalmed carcass, and the slow change of your skin to a gross, rough, slightly Mummy-like complexion...OK, stop.

Anyway...

Perhaps he had hoped to secure the bridge intact to facilitate the passage of his great army the next year...

...or gain a foothold on the shores of the Great River to build his amphibious assault force.

What I remember about this assault on Osgiliath is...*drumroll*...Saving Private Ryan. Hitler values bridgeheads to Normandy like pure gold, just like Sauron did. The 101st Airborne troops defending the bridge blow it up when they are pushed to the brink, just like what the Gondorians did.

Well, except the P-51s, the Tigers, the Panthers..oh, well. You get me.

Later days!
