had elfhelm been in charge at the fords what exactly would he have done after repeling the armies or saruman for the first time?

arranged some battered forces in case of a new attack I think.

nope, i'll give a clue, grimhelm was in charge, and chose to stay, but i'd like to know what it is said Elfhelm would have done exactly

Elfhelm would abandon the fords , as he thought they were of no use and they would snare men best placed elsewhere. HE would assemble all the men on foot , place them in a long line some miles north of the fords , to stop any army trying to advance , and do a cavalry charge and drive them in the river.

is correct, but the rest is not what i'm looking for. He would not have gone north... remember the question is after the first battle of the fords of the Isen

take his foot troops to the east side of the Fords , and launch a rear cavalry charge when Saruman would attack again , and then drive Saruman's forces in the river with his cavalry?

Yes. thats the one. your turn

originally he says 'I am called Strider i come out of north. I am hunting orc.

but later he says (quoting)

Elendil' he cried "I am Aragon son of Arathon, and i am called Elessar the Elfstone Dunadan, the hier of Isildur Eoendil's son of Gondor."

sigh .. correct again!

Might have to name it "Brian , the Director and Sean take it in turns to answer questions."

Pm'd

lol.

at helms deep when gimli jumps down from the wall to deal with the orc that have crept through the culvet through which the stream flows he shouts 2 things in dwarvish
A) what does he shout?
B) what does it mean in the common tounge?

Baruk Khazad! Khazad Aimenu! , and I thought it translates into "Axes of the dwarves , the dwarves are upon you"?

close, the second half of both A) and B) is correct, the first however is not. very close however.

I answered that from my menory , but when I looked around I found this :

Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! (meaning "Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!")

Isn't that different from my answer is it?

I think this may be a case of 'here we go again' ?

Is this 'in the film' or 'in the book' ?

In the film as Sean states, it is indeed 'Baruk Khazad! Khazad Aimenu! ... translation = "Axes of the dwarves , the dwarves are upon you"

In the book...
its

'down from the wall leapt Gimli with a fierce cry that echoed in the cliffs, 'Khazad! Khazad! He soon had work enough.
'Ai-oi' he shouted. The Orcs are behind the wall. Ai-oi! Legolas! There are enough for us both. Khazad ai-menu!

i did mean from the books, sorry for the confusion.

As Sean did give the answer to the question i guess it's his go, for a change...
