Name: idk, nothing special Weapon: carries a oval-shaped shield, and carries a pole-Ax in his right hand. He also keeps a dagger closeby, to stab any who get too close. Also, a short sword is strapped to his side for optional different combat styles. Armor: heavy armor will not be needed, since these are practical soldiers. They were a steel Norman style helm with a mail coif, with a full mail suit. Beneath is gambeson padding. Tactics: usually fights in a formation with 4 or 5 others like him. Optionally can ditch the large shield and pole-Ax for a shortsword and buckler, which may Serve better in tight tunnels and skirmishing situations

Name: -Archer.- Weapon: -Literally any bow aside from wimpy bows.- Armor: -Lether, chain, doesn't matter.- Tactics: Okay, Dunharrow, as decried in the books, is the perfect defense point outside of a castle. Towards the mountain, the cave of spooky keeps people awway. The only way UP there is a steep, narrow, winding path. No matter what comes at you, raining arrows until they die will work. "But bucky," I hear someone say, "What if they have shields?" They're on a mountain. There are plenty of big rocks that can be pushed or thrown to shatter or knock away the shields.
