Description
Stage 1

The watch-towers upon Helm's Dike grant a favourable position for the Rohirrim. Scouts will mark the numbers of the coming force and fire their arrows upon them as they approach. The enemy will make every effort to take away the advantage the towers provide, you must protect the towers and the archers who fight to defend them.
