A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! #GameSky #PC #TheLordOfTheRings #BattleForMiddleEarth

Helm's Deep defended. That was tough! #GameSky #PhysicalMedia #PC #TheLordOfTheRings #BattleForMiddleEarth

The final defense before reinforcements arrive.

The most glorious moment in all of Battle for Middle-Earth is never vanguishing the enemy or even total victory. No, in true Rohirrim fashion:

Nothing quite like defending the keep and then finally being able to call in your upgraded Rohan army to come to Gondor's aid. Minas Tirith is not as challenging as Helm's Deep was, but still really flipping awesome. #GameSky #PhysicalMedia #PC #TheLordOfTheRings #BattleForMiddleEarth

Gimli: Legolas! Sixty-six already.

Flushing out Isengard with Ents and sneakily sending Mumakil into a frenzy to wipe out batallions of the Haradrim taking over the outskirts of Gondor with Faramir and his rangers. Battle For Middle-Earth finds tons of variety within the framework of the story. #GameSky #BattleForMiddleEarth #LotR

Honouring my grand army and kick-ass heroes. RIP to those that didn't make it (House of Who and House of Ood in particular. It seems that Gallifrey and Middle-Earth don't mix. 😅 #GameSky #PhysicalMedia #PC #TheLordOfTheRings #BattleForMiddleEarth

Those who joined later on still pulled their weight.

Marched south with the Rohirrim to drive back the Haradrim and strengthen my battalions. They're ready to march on the Black Gate. Gonna complete remaining skirmishes with Gondor to level them up further. #GameSky #PhysicalMedia #PC #TheLordOfTheRings #BattleForMiddleEarth #LotR

All heroes to maximum level, along with veteran battalions House of Elegast, Stark, Waarzitiedan Elves, Merry Men in Tights and the Katniss Rebellion.

Band of Thieves are level 10 as well, backed up by strong battalions Anorienke House, Dunn's Marrows, Annorieneke House, Andeos Horse Archers, House of Stallion, Andros Archers, Anorien House and the Harrenhall Husslers.

I'd say the army of Gondor is ready. The lands surrounding the kingdom are saved. Meanwhile, the Rohirrim found a way into Mordor after a conquest in the south. After one or two skirmishes, we will finally march on the Black Gate. #GameSky #PhysicalMedia #PC #TheLordOfTheRings #BattleForMiddleEarth

Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, Gandalf, Faramir, Boromir, Pippin, House of Nobel and House of Farahmir all level 10.

Farah's Posse, House of Beorn, Faramir's 2nd Tower, House of Arrowthon with House of the Fallen, Arrow Inc. And House of the Hood all level 10. Agents of the Hood and House of Arathorn are level 9.

Order of Yorkshire, House of Garrett, and Pew Pew Noises level 8. Faramir's 3rd Tower, Thirithian Lads, Sharpshooters, Bow Inc. and the Faramir Fans level 10. Bromomir's 1st Tower level 9.

Now my Gondor army has grown with 27 upgraded batallions of archers, rangers and knights. When the maxed out Rohirrim come to Gondor's aid at Pelennor Fields, we'll be unstoppable. (3/3) #GameSky #PhysicalMedia #PC #TheLordOfTheRings #BattleForMiddleEarth
