I would add that Alma 16:3 and Helaman 1:24 suggest that the Nephites rarely had a fulltime army and that they needed time to gather and arm their soldiers. So your suggestion that Moroni would desperately rally small bands of Nephites is not so far fetched. <br /><br />Also, I would suggest the chapter on "military castes" in Warfare in the Book of Mormon which suggests that Moroni was a part of a hereditary military household and would have had special military training at a younger age than the average farmer. <br /><br />I will definitely link to this post.Morgan Dhttp://mormonwar.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
