Battle For
Middle-Earth Good Campaign Map 14, Act 14 - Crossroads
Build a farm to the north east, another to the north west & send some fully upgraded Gondor Archers to man another abandoned tower.
Send all horses north & east to explore rest of map & secure the northern side of the river. When I was building another farm to the far north west my triple tower on the south side was getting heavily attacked. Decided to do some trampling.
The main enemy camp is discovered to the south east so send all your forces to it immediately & cripple as much as you can. Should be able to trample all the Orcs around & with the Fire Archers most of the troop production structures & Citadel.
I managed to destroy all but one slaughterhouse until I noticed an attack on one of my farms to the north. Also during this time I decided to swap a from at my main camp to a stable & another as an Archer Range as I really needed some horses & had some free command points after staffing the abandoned towers & may need more Archers for other towers on the map. Sent all troops back to the fountain north of the bridge to recover & horses to sort out the attack in the north. You should find 2 battalions of Rangers in the trees attacking a Lumber Mills at which time you command limit will max out again. Not before training some horses though fortunately.
Head east & destroy Lumber Mill
Head south across the river, destroy another Lumber Mills & send archers to garrison another tower. This time I sent some ranger as I seemed to have plenty of them.
Send the horses south to enemy camp & destroy Citadel if it has rebuilt & leave one structure standing. Head south again to explore rest of map & destroy any enemy structures still standing. Finally I un-garrisoned all my archers & sent everyone as well as my summon Rohirrim & Elves Powers to the enemy camp to finish it off.

Gandalf, Pippin & Boromir have reached Minas Tirith. Legolas, Aragorn & Gimli are now south of the White Mountains with the Army Of The Dead following on their way to the Black Ships. Frodo & Sam with Gollum are on their way to Shelob's lair. Apart from another 60 Soldiers of Rhûn north of Dagorlad, all other Armies of Mordor still waiting in Mordor.
