Most of us accept that the Eagles would not have been able to penetrate the defenses undetected. The idea of running Eagle Screening Attacks to get Mordor used to them doesn't hold much water while Eagles are dying. The Eagles were indebted to Gandalf personally, but that doesn't mean they are willing to involve themselves in the battle vs Sauron.I believe the matter, within the world, was discussed at the Council and decided that the Obvious Path wouldn't work. If one of Sarumans feathered spies had gained the Ring, all is lost.It's a legitimate question if you wish to debate the merits of the arguement. Instead, you've chosen your position and set out to shoot down those who oppose it. In the end, you will not admit that it's not a flaw, come hell or high water and you've made that painfully clear. So the idea that the discussion can be "won" is futile.If you want to continue a humorous "what would my players do" thread, I'm not sure why you're clogging it with the age old debate.</blockquote>
