Possible Name Change?[edit source]

I don't really care but does anyone think the name should be changed? Possibly to "Battle of Menegroth" or is the title just fine? By the way the title comes from what Tolkien called it in the Silm. --Dwarf Lord 13:39, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Personally i think the page is moribund considering what is already said in the Second Kinslaying page. Dr Death 14:56, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Bogys Numbers[edit source]

It appears that a user named Tar Alcarin seeded this and other articles with nonsense numbers in 2010 for troop estimates. I think s/he took the numbers from old MERP modules. --Michael Martinez 05:02, 24 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
