Found the thing with the quote about Narsil and fear:
"...and the sword of Elendil filled Orcs and Men with fear, for it shone with the light of the sun and of the moon, and it was named Narsil."
—The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age
apparently elves arnt mentioned, but undoubtedly they were.Or enamoured of it...........
id think aragorn and the heros would stay out of it since aragorn is MARRIED to an elf princess and you cant really take rohans cavallry into a boost because the elves have kick ass horsemen of their own not to metion their archers they would be able to best a ranger most of the time if the heros stayed out elves would start to win than men would start looking for a superpower than probably get currupted and hello war of the ring 2
Originally posted by Lord Lucientrue but done correctly spears should be fit into the gaps while they make progress im not saying the men would cream the elves itd be really close , but the forces at osgiliath held against the mordor seige for years and years that adds up to thousands of orcs(not 1 or 2 thousand much more} .in a wooded area elves would win through archer superiority itd be close with the rangers but still, on a plain or urban area men would win cause theyre used to that kind of combat ,elves arent .plus theyd probably kiss up before someone loses
Testudos are still vulnerable to cavalry and a quick closing by the enemy infantry. It's good for protecting a stationary unit or a slow moving one.
Take into account the fact that men make sturdier shield, and betetr armor as they have better swordsmen in some regards. No one can truthfully say that all men have been incompetent with swords, and Numenoreans would be a huge factor in it as their eyes were nearly as good as elves, they were elves in all aspects except their life span, still a few hundred years for the commoners, longer for the line of Elros.
