He was racist. Thats why we need to ban arrows.
No but it was a NAP violation.
boomers frick everything up fr
it was all his fault. there was no hope for peace negotiations after that
you can only commit war crimes against people or elves
Look rohan has been occupying rightful orc land for years are you surprised they act like this
yes cause all those orcs where there to negotiate peace
They did kind of stop short and stand there for a while.
why did they decide to hold until the orcs got into range instead of just shooting indiscriminately?
because they didnt have infinite ammo you sperg
Volley fire wasn’t really a thing until muskets. The idea of making every archer fire as slowly as the slowest one or at the range of your weakest archer just makes no sense tactically.
So both LOTR and 300 lied to me?
moron
It was probably to maintain discipline. If everyone just started firing on their own then they'd be more likely to panic once the orcs got in.
I hate it when they do volley fire with archers, most archery was disruptive rather than directly targeted and holding a bowstring like that will frick your spine lol
I always wonder what it feels like to be on the very front line in a battle like this.
You have to know that the first wave of arrows is going to take you out.
they'll get everybody else but they won't get me I'm too fast
Why didn't the orcs use shields? Were they stupid?
because they didn't have infinite shields you sperg
The Spartans had shields and that kind of worked for a while.
in those times you might as well have been throwing sticks at the enemy instead of using bows
the had but they were having a party when that tragedy happened
Their shields are only good for surfing.
They had a strict tree budget and, at the time, wood wasn't on the menu.
socioeconomic factors
because they were doctors, lawyers and scientists
and thats a good thing
that's why they give you meth and do war chants
the first ones over the wall gets primo elf pussy
people on the frontlines get paid more so people that broke its life and death either way
>You have to know that the first wave of arrows is going to take you out.
yeah if you're a b***h
apologize
did he KNOW?
>march up to enemy in full battle attire after pilaging their countryside and attacking their caravan of civilians with warg riders
What war crime?
>march up to enemy in full battle attire
That was just a show of force to increase isengard's bargaining power in the ensuing peace negotiations
>after pilaging their countryside
Those were Dunlendings. They've had beef with Rohan since forever. Nothing to do with Isengard.
>attacking their caravan of civilians with warg riders
Border skirmishes with renegade orcs. Nothing to do with Saruman.
That's like saying Germany would've been within the law if they rolled their tanks into Poland and asked them to negotiate. Moving armed forces through another nation is a declaration of war unless those two nations have an agreement
The hand of Saruman is on helmets found in looted villages
The silliest part is that they're holding under tension at all. It takes only a second to draw and loose your arrow once the order is given. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to sit there struggling to keep it taught and in danger of accidentally loosing it when your endurance gives out.
The orcs were already in their country, the only reasonable opinion is they sanctioned their deaths at the instant they crossed into Rohan. Killing and even torture were already permissible.
1) They were already at war, so no.
2) Neither Rohan nor Isengard had a concept of "war crime", so double no.
