	Osgiliath
		In the fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien, Osgiliath is a city of Middle-earth, the capital of Gondor.

	Battle of Bywater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Bywater was a battle between the Hobbits of The Shire and a band of Ruffians who followed "Sharkey" (a nickname meaning "old man" in Orkish, referring to Saruman).
		The Battle of Bywater occurred on November 3, 1419 by Shire-reckoning in the Shire Calendar (3019 of the Third Age) and was the last military engagement of the War of the Ring.
		Frodo was also present at the battle, though he did not fight: he spent the battle making sure that ruffians who threw down their weapons were not killed (indeed, during his entire life, even when the Shire itself was invaded, Frodo never killed a sentient being, though he did wound a barrow-wight and a cave-troll).

		The Battle of Osgiliath was a battle during the War of the Ring, and a prelude to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
		Fords across the river were located in Osgiliath (half of the city was located on each side of the river) that were the only path a large army could cross the Anduin for hundreds of miles up or downstream (from Cair Andros to Pelargir).
		Thus the Battle of Osgiliath was the first battle of the war in a strict sense.

	Favorite Battle Scene - Cinephiliacs Movie Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Battle for Osgiliath is quite frankly exactly what the title says, its when faramir and his men hide behind columns and wait for the orcs to dock and begin attacking and start the battle for the city before fleeing back to Minas Tirith.
		Minas Tirith (The Rohirrim Attack) is the battle outside the city when Rohan arrives and starts its charge through the army doing their massive cavalry attack.
		But the battle between rohan and the mumakil has to be the best battle scene from the movie in my opinion.

		After watching, again and again, as he rode to battle for Osgiliath, she had learned to let hope die in her heart.
		When he is old, he will tell her that the memory of her eyes was with him throughout the battle, that they were the last thing he remembers seeing.
		The wind carries the sound of battle from Osgiliath and stirs the scent of bruised blossoms, soft and bitter like tears that will not fall.

	Battle of the Pelennor Fields
		Which is, of course, way too big a map to play a battle on.
		On an 8' by 4' table it is possible to show a battlefield around 6 miles by 3 miles in size, which should be large enough for the purpose (focussing on the section around Minas Tirith).
		Any Gondor forces within 600 paces of the point where the Osgiliath road enters the map must immediately rout (move 600 paces as directly away as possible) if Gothmog moves any forces down that road as part of his initial entry.

		Players will also be able to fight with Balin and his dwarven army as they attempt to re-colonize the murky halls of Moria and help put together an ancient dwarven catapult they'll use to bomb the heck out of an orc village.
		In this battle, which takes place just before Boromir leaves for Rivendell, I led Boromir, Faramir, and a troop of Gondorian soldiers into the ruins of Osgiliath.
		Osgiliath, a Numenorean city abandoned in a great plague, has been taken over by Sauron's army.

	The One Ring: The White Council :: View topic - Swooning thread for Osgiliath
		The inclusion of Osgiliath was a masterstroke by PJ.
		These [Osgiliath colour studies] were done for the guys working down on the wet set.
		Osgiliath is only pointless from the limited point of view of "it wasn't in the book." From the point of view of making good movies, AND from the point of view of successfully adapting Tolkien's themes and plot lines it was a brilliant, brilliant addition.

	Mixed Reviews - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - reviewed by Jill Cozzi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It's no secret that Peter Jackson is enamored of battle scenes, and while we know from watching the many "making of..." specials on these films that these battles were actually twenty-five costumed guys repeated endlessly, Jackson achieves a fluidity and a continuity in his battle scenes that are rarely seen in films today.
		Battle is a series of indiviedual confrontations, and Jackson plays each one through, as intricately and fluidly choreographed as a ballet.
		Billy Boyd, as Pippin, not only wrote the song his character sings so movingly over the battle of Osgiliath, but delivers a marvelously subtle performance as his character finally outgrows the silly hobbit-boy he has been up to this point.

		Lastly, the battle turned to the streets - the fiercest and most grueling of all stages of the engagement.
		When the battle began to fall ill, Argonath insisted that word be sent to his brothers that they should pull out from the city and make way for Minas Tirith to ensure that at least one of the three survived.
		Battle took tremendous tolls upon his body, fatigue, cuts, wounds, and emotional scars as well.

	Science Fiction Movie and TV Reviews
		Gandalf warns Theoden (Bernard Hill) that the Riders of Rohan may soon be needed again, to defend the citadel at Minas Tirith, the white city of Gondor.
		The action, exemplified in the massive Battle of Pelennor fields and the siege of Minas Tirith, is several orders of magnitude more grandiose than
		But the effects, including a terrifyingly real Shelob the giant spider, wouldn't amount to a hill of pipeweed without the movie's loving attention to its characters and their emotional journeys, which are every bit as perilous as Frodo's trek through Mordor.

	Two Towers comments including spoilers page 7 - The Tolkien Society Media Section
		For example, Faramir's character was reduced to a bad copy of Boromir, and in my opinion, everything that made him noble and respectable in the book was removed in the film.
		The role of the Huorns in the closing stages of the battle of Helm's Deep is wished away.
		In general, the elves are so weird-looking and peripheral to the story that it is not terribly upsetting to find out that they all have to leave Middle-earth.
