The Defenders of Minas Tirith

THE SHORT VERSION

Gandalf on Shadowfax and mounted Imrahil lead a seven-hundred-point force with Minas Tirith infantry, a banner and Swan Knights. The shield wall occupies the enemy while Gandalf knocks down formations, suppresses dangerous monsters or weakens hostile casters. Imrahil’s cavalry then concentrates on selected threats rather than charging indiscriminately. The plan illustrates a magical hero making a small conventional army more effective through timing and local advantage.
