LoTR - Battle for Middle Earth (BFME 1) EP25: Lebennin (Evil Campaign M24)[Hard]

Yay a short mission! Only 2 elements that are slightly more difficult. We crossed the first river without much hassle. Then came the second river. It was still fine, but the game threw us an unfair situation where our soldiers moved into enemy line of fire just because it was giving way to a newly produced unit.

The soldiers moved way out of line to give space, and then unfortunately enemy melee came in and the autonomously advanced further to engage the enemy, running into enemy fire. After eliminating the incoming melee, they stood where they were WITHOUT returning to their previous location, or at least their displacement-acquired location.

24:42 begins the effort to bring the group back to.... rank 3. Yeah it was nigh impossible to let them reach rank 5 or 6 without wasting a lot of time. Furthermore, while they recover, other units had to step up and they were gaining exp too. So 24:42 to 33:00 can be skipped if you wish. There's example of one other ridiculous bug during that period of time where our units ignore incoming melee damage, but otherwise.... There's ANOTHER bug. An enemy sentry tower that doesn't fire at our units at 33:58.

Anyway Lurtz was already level 9 at 22:35 although looking back at the footage once more, it seemed he did get significant exp from that time segment because of the eye's bonus exp. While he wasn't pivotal when it came to winning or losing the mission, I should've factored that in when playing through to ensure repeatability of this approach.

Also, I'd indicated that the lost group was a rank 6 in the on-video caption at 14:07 since by editing time, I'd already found out about the rank. But the actual finding out and thus change in commentary would be around 24:57.
