: maybe the reason why sauron retained the largest part of his army in mordor while simultaneously attacking his enemies at once was he was trying to find where the major attack to him would come...remeber he was thinking that the ring will be used against him by a great lord of power/ wielder. By sending out armies all over the place, he maybe thinking to draw out the ring wielder and fight a bigger battle when the ring surfaces, thus he reserved his largest army for that event. is this ok?
It seems very ok to me. Also, he launched his assault sooner than he originally had planned, so perhaps all the forces weren't ready to be used in an offensive at that point. I don't know what it takes to get army moving, but I suppose the logistics have to be quite well worked out, even in Middle-Earth.
