Qual o tamanho dos vários exércitos na Guerra do Anel?

Após algumas leituras intensivas, descobri o seguinte:

Capítulo: Profundidade do leme

The Host passed through the breach and halted on the sloping sward above. They now learned to their joy that Erkenbrand had left many men to hold Helm's Gate, and more had since escaped thither.
'Maybe, we have a thousand fit to fight on foot,' said Gamling, an old man, the leader of those that watched the Dike. 'But most of them have seen too many winters, as I have, or too few, as my son's son here.'

Isengard foi pelo menos 10000 strong, como testemunhado por Merry e Pippin:

'He emptied Isengard. I saw the enemy go: endless lines of marching Orcs [uruk-hai]; and troops of them mounted on great wolves. And there were battalions of Men, too. Many of them carried torches, and in the flare I could see their faces. Most of them were ordinary men, rather tall and dark-haired, and grim but not particularly evil-looking. But there were some other that were horrible: man-high, but with goblin-faces, sallow, leering, squint-eyed. Do you know, they reminded me of that Southener at Bree; only he was not so obviously orc-like as most of these were.'

Então o exército de Gondor para apoiar Minas Tirith:

'Forlong!' men shouted. 'True heart, true friend! Forlong!' But when the [axe-]men of Lossarnach had passed they muttered: 'So few! Two hundreds, what are they? We hoped for ten times the number.'

e, um pouco depois:

The men of Ringló Vale behind the son of their lord, Dervorin striding on foot: three hundreds. From the uplands of Morthond, the great Blackroot Vale, tall Duinhir with his sons, Duilin and Derufin, and five hundred bowmen. From the Anfalas, the Langstrand far away, a long line of men[c. 900] of many sorts, hunters and herdsmen and men of little villages, scantily equipped, save for the household of Golasgil their lord. From Lamedon, a few grim hillmen without a captain. Fisher-folk of the Ethir, some hundred or more spared from the ships. Hirluin the fair of the Green Hills from Pinnath Gelin with three hundreds of gallant green-clad men. And last and proudest, Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth, kinsman of the Lord, with gilded banners bearing his token of the Ship and the Silver Swan, and a company of knights in full harness riding grey horses; and behind them seven hundreds of men at arms, tall as lords, grey-eyed, dark-haired, singing as they came. And that was all, less than three thousands full told.

Ele não escreve quantos estavam em Minas Tirith em primeiro lugar.

Então os Rohirrim vêm com 6000 cavaleiros, como observado por Ghân-buri-Ghân em 'O Passeio dos Rohirrim'. Eles são superados em número por Orcs naquela região.

Existem aproximadamente três vezes mais (18.000) Haradrim que Rohirrim:

And if the Rohirrim were at their onset thrice outnumbered by the Haradrim alone, soon their case became worse; ...

A frota de Umbar abrangia "50 grandes navios, embarcações menores além da contagem"

Após a Batalha dos Campos de Pellenor, a força para atacar o Morannon foi de 7000:

This then was the end of the debate of the lords; that they should set forth on the second morning from that day with seven thousands, if these may be found; and the great part of this force should be on foot, because of the evil lands into which they would go. Aragorn should find some two thousands of those that he had gathered to him in the South; but Imrahil should find three and a half thousands; and Éomer five hundreds of the Rohirrim who were unhorsed but themselves warworthy, and he himself should lead five hundreds of his best Riders on horse; and another company of five hundred horse there should be, among which there should ride the sons of Elrond with the Dúnedain and the knights of Dol Amroth: all told six thousand foot and a thousand horse.

E então, não indo:

But the main strength of the Rohirrim that remained horsed and able to fight, some three thousand under Elfhelm, should waylay the West Road against the enemy that was in Anórien.

No final, menos de 6000 realmente chegam aos Portões Negros, porque alguns ficaram na encruzilhada, e alguns foram libertar Cair Andros

Vou escrever mais se encontrar alguma coisa. . .
