And you just pretty much contradicted your argument by explaining about this. You did a fair job of describing guerilla warfare, which is what you said they weren't. Very outnumbered, moving fast, staying hidden, not obviously soldiers. Then perhaps I misphrased myself. I mean guerilla warfare in terms of being sneaky, hiding in bushes, etc, not moving quickly and camping in concealed places. Because, in the plains of Eriador, there's not many places to hide, as the Rangers of Ithilien did in the movies. I'm sure in battle they'd take advantage of natural cover, but because they wear grey and armor, they wouldn't use stealth as much, because they wouldn't blend in. How about a compromise? The Rangers of the North are revealed after they shoot a foe. But they're far better in melee due to their armor and weaponry?
