I've just made a scenario for an upcoming battle for minas tirith and the pelenor fields. Now since many of the armies come in later in the game (haradrim, rohirrim ect...) I wonder what would be a good turn for them to come in. Im not quite sure. Like what turn should the rohirrim come in and what turn should everyone else? ect... These are the army lists:

Minas Tirith-1000
-Gandalf the White with Shadowfax
-Denethor
-Beregond
-Pippin
-Imrahil
-Captain of Minas Tirith with Shield
-1 Warrior of Minas Tirith with Banner
-8 Warriors of Minas Tirith with Shields
-8 Warriors of Minas Tirith witih Shields and Spears
-8 Warriors of Minas Tirith with Bows
-6 Guards of the Fountain Court with Shields
-1 Avenger Bolt Thrower with 3 Crew
-6 Knights of Dol-Amroth
-6 Men at Arms of Dol Amroth

Mordor-1500
-The Witch-King with Fellbeast, Morgul Crown and 3/10/1
-Gothmog with Warg
-Orc Captain with Shield
-Mordor Troll Chieftain
-Mordor Orc Taskmaster
-Orc Drummer
-1 Orc with Banner
-6 Mordor Uruk-Hai with Shields
-3 Mordor Uruk-Hai with Two-Handed Weapons
-12 Orc Trackers
-12 Morannon Orcs with Shields
-6 Morannon Orcs with Spears
-6 Morannon Orcs with Spears and Shields
-12 Orcs with Shields
-12 Orcs with Spears
-6 Orcs with Two-Handed Weapons
-6 Orcs with Bows
-1 Mordor Troll
-1 Mordor Troll with War Drums

Rohan-500
-Theoden with Heavy Armour, Shield and Horse
-Eomer with Horse
-Eowyn with Horse and Armour
-Gamling with Royal Standard and Horse
-Merry with Horse
-8 Riders of Rohan
-4 Riders of Rohan with Throwing Spears

Harad-500
-Mumak
-Easterling Captain
-12 Haradrim with Bows
-6 Easterlings with Shields
-6 Easterlinsg with Shields and Spears

Dunharrow-500
-Aragorn
-Legolas
-Gimli
-King of the Dead
-3 Warriors of the Dead

Good one thought it could be bigger...
Anyway i believe Rohan should come at turn 8, Harad at turn 10 and the dead at turn 12...

This article is for a totally different game but contains some very useful information for this scenario. The Lay out and timing I think you will discover will make a very interesting addition to a WOTR or SBG scenarios.

Look over the Hobbit scenario as well : http://larsen-family.us/~1066/5armies.html


I think it will depend on the size of the table and how far you start apart, plus how long you have to play.
