AN ANGMARIM IDYLL

Rarely Seen Sights, 3: An Angmarim Idyll

This charming rural scene of Angmarim soldiers fishing from the end of a dock in Bail Catharnakh proves that it's not all work and no play for Angmar's loyal troops. Enjoying a spell of rest & recuperation, these loyal warriors of the Witch King take a well-earned break from murdering, torturing and slaughter by dropping a line into the err... turgid green waters of Himbar.

DEFEATISM AMONG THE ANGMARIM

The Angamarim forces currently holding Annuminas are showing signs of serous defeatism, if not worse. How else would you explain the fact that immediately upon coming under attack, an Angamarim captain might cry out "This will be no easy defeat!" - thus implicitly conceding that he is, indeed, facing certain defeat. Equally defeatist are the ejaculations "My life for the glory of Angmar", or the plaintive "Annuminas was to be our glory...". Angmar's secret police should also be worried about the widespread use of "I do not... understand" by dying Angmarim, as this indicates a high level of mistrust of High Command and a lack of awareness of the Witch King's long-term policies.

This is no way to run an army of invasion. A Roman legion showing this degree of demoralisation would have been decimated, and as for Soviet troops on the Eastern Front - why, the KGB would have shot all the officers and condemned the men to service in the punitive battalions. Angmar's KGB equivalent needs to get on their case...
