I was going over a few famous battles between Umbar and Dol Amroth. See what you think?

Name: Battle of the Storm

Time: directly after the Victory of Thorongil

Place: the coast of Umbar

Victor: Umbar

Story: Young Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth, thinking that Umbar was sufficantly crippled by the Victory of Thorongil, thought the time was ripe to attempt an attack on the city of Umbar itself. He prepared a strong fleet and led it against that of Umbar, however his ships were caught in a deadly storm and their numbers were almost halved. Before Imrahil could turn back, the fleet of Umbar's colonies swept down and defeated the men of Dol Amroth

Name: Battle of the Fields of Helgor

Time: Late War of the Ring

Place: in and around a large wheat field owned by Lord Bergil Helgor on the east side of Dor-en-Ernil

Victor: Solid Umbarian victory

Story: Veauntur Eldarion and a large force of Umbarians and Southrons landed on the eastern coast of Belfalas and marched towards Dol Amroth in hopes of gaining a foothold in Gondor. Imrahil and his entire army met them in a large wheatfield near the hills of Tarnost.

It had rained for several weeks prior, and the field was covered in mud. The knights, pride of Dol Amroth's military, were unable to ride through the muck and were forced to dismount, giving Umbar a heavy advantage. This, coupled with an attack on the Dol Amroth rearguard, gave Umbar a heavy victory, and Imrahil's army routed over the hills of Tarnost.

Name: Battle of Tarnost

Time: One week after the Fields of Helgor

Place: Tarnost

Victor: Dol Amroth

Story: With Imrahil's forces out of the way, Veauntur had a clear shot at Dol Amroth itself. Gondor's official army was busy in the east, and the Rohirrim and Union were to far to lend aid on short notice. Things looked grim for the sea-ward tower.

But as Veauntur took the road north of the hills of Tarnost, he decided to go ahead and take the town before proceding to Dol Amroth. This was a mistake. Although comprised of poorly-equiped militia, the heroic garrison at Tarnost, led by Belegond, managed to hold off the Umbarians for three full weeks, long enough for aid to come from the other fiefdoms and for Imrahil to regroup.

Name: The Battle of the Hills

Time: directly after the Battle of Tarnost

Place: The Hills of Tarnost

Victor: Gondor

Story: Veauntur, facing against a solid and diciplined Gondorian force, retreated into the hills of Tarnost. It was here that he was assaulted by the united forces of Gondor's western fiefdoms, led by Prince Imrahil. It was a deadly battle, but the men of Gondor finally defeated Veauntur, and he was forced to abandon his campaign into Dor-en-Ernil.
