On another note, I am somewhat surprised to learn that the Free Peoples
can amass larger armies then the DS. I don't claim to be a Tolkien
expert by my impression from the books was that Sauron's forces vastly
outnumbered those of the Free Peoples. My impression was that the Free
Peoples armies made up for this, at least in part, by being much better
trained, disciplined, motivated and lead. Do other people share that
impression or am I off-base?

If I am correct, does the game actualy reflect that situation. Some of
what I've heard seems to indicate that it does not. Any comments?

Chris

What is sure is that without agents, it is impossible to Stop
Frees Armies
at all, how could Fire King present somewhat of resistance if he
only
recruits 800 HI per turn when Gondor can recruit 1800 HI without
problems??
Even now with assassins games are quite balanced.
