It's already a risky venture of us even taking the city. Do you see the predicament your plan poses now? We may fail, and even if we succeed, what will we have? A city with destroyed fortifications, only a fraction of our numbers, and an eastern horde bent on our destruction. If we want the kingdom, we take the kingdom, not the throne. Imrahil, if you trust my judgement, hold part of the force in Osgiliath for a land garrison, pay no mind to the anduin as that won't be a threat to our hold there. The rest of the forces, we 'charge' Tirith with, then just before we enter their range, we split into two, go around and past the white city, it is of no concern to us. One force will keep moving south of the white mountains and take Lamedon, as Ioreth's hometown she just might be foolish enough to leave the city and pursue our rear. Even if she doesn't, the other force will lay watch over the city and prevent any supplies from incoming. It may take a while but, we'll have the farms and they won't. In the name of time I'll let you know the rest of the plan after." One problem: Osgiliath is incubating the plague at the moment, that would be suicide.
