Anyone ever seen any points costs for a battering ram?

It suggests you can use them in the last Two Towers scenario, and you have 1,500 points to spend. But I can't find the cost anywhere

I'm guessing you just give Uruk-hai a battering ram instead of a ladder (in the scenario i mentioned you get one free ladder for every 20 Uruk-hai)

I don't think it was ever intended that they have a points value, as they're usually used in a seige scenario and they're part of miscellaneous equipment, just like the defenders have barrels of oil etc. You actually only need one as there is usually only one gate to be breached per scenario, and they can't really get destroyed. The bearers/rammers, well they are pretty expendable, as long as you have enough of those you can replace casualties at will. I've played a couple of the Helms Deep scenarios and actually manged to get my Uruk ramming brigade through the gate once. Unfortunately the scenario had a fixed turn limit, and I didn't get enough uruks over/behind the walls (darned Aragon and Gimli) to win in the end. Gamling bought it though, he had been given the job to hold the area behind the gate and got swamped by a tide of Uruks.
