The Lord of The Rings: Battle of Osgiliath

Before the dread armies of Mordor can lay siege to Minas Tirith, they must first take and hold the port city of Osgiliath, allowing them to move massive amounts of supplies and legions of warriors. While the steward of Gondor remains on his throne in relative comfort, he sends his second son, Faramir, and many of Gondor’s most trusted warriors to defend Osgiliath against all odds. Will they hold the line, or will the inexorable forces of Evil overwhelm them?
