The Dunlendings eventually break through the wall, and rout the Scotians.

Scotians Losses: Medium to Heavy

Dunlending Losses: Heavy I can accept that. The elite of the elite weren't in Rohan, so its plausible that inferior troops in vastly superior numbers broke the shieldwall. Say 900 Scotian casualties, 1500 Dunlending casualties? (My reasoning for such a large difference is: Dunlendings are vastly inferior warriors compared to Scotia, even if they're better than they used to be, so their greatest weapon is numbers. And the area in front of a shieldwall held by warriors with the ferocity of Celts and the discipline and skill of Spartans is essentially a killing ground for almost everyone that gets close.)
