Ngugi: War of the Wrath var faktiskt ett enskilt slag då Morgoth besegrades.
Jo, det är i det stora hela korrekt.
Men jag mindes att jag läst noteringar om specifika andra slagfält under Vredens krig vilket färgat min bild av det: inte som ett slag utan flera, med antagligen ett större och avgörande. Sökte runt lite och fann detta på Wikipedia (deras källor kan ni kolla här:

Citera:
The Later Annals are the final version of the War of Wrath in this form. There are versions of events and aspects of the war in the Annals that are in conflict with those in Quenta Silmarillion beyond minor inconsistencies in nomenclature and dates. (...)
Other details do not conflict with the Silmarillion, because of the difference in mode between Annal and Quenta some are just not present in the Quentas. The landing of Ingwë's son and his victory in the Battle of Eglarest is a significant example. The Later Annals provide additional details about the battle including the driving of the Orcs from the shore and then entire Host of Valinor driving both Orcs and Balrogs across Sirion followed by the long struggle of the hosts of the West and North for passage of the River Sirion which lay between the Hosts. (...)
Further, some subsidiary battles to the campaign of the Great Battle are mentioned there briefly, as well as in the tale of The Fall of Gondolin where the Battle of Tasarinan is described as a surprise attack by the Goblins on the Noldor of the Host. Another battle is that of the Silent Pools, or Twilight Pools which is Umboth Muilin, or Ailin Uial. Here it is suggested that the Easterling Men of Hithlum descend from the north and attack the flank of the Elves. The early traditions for this battle are in some serious contradiction at points with the later tales in that it is held here that Tulkas and Morgoth and other Valar are present whereas later only the Maiar, Eönwë for the Host of the West, and the Balrogs, for the Hosts of Angband, take the field.
