To the Lord of the rings buffs here...

Let's say you're a commander of the HUMAN faction during the time of the LOTR.

Assemble an army which you think could defeat the forces of Mordor and its allies.

And specify the composition.

Nuff said... I'm a bookwork in my spare time.

Id take about 1,000 U.S. Rangers and a 1,000 U.S. Marines and kick those orcs ass!

Or 200 SAS soldiers to your 2000.

Sorry my bad.

Here are the odds for you.

I think 1000 of America's best marines won't be enough.

The garrison at Minas Morgul has 250,000 orcs. About a quarter of that number are Uruk-Hai. The garrison at Minas Morgul are supported by at least 50 thousand cavalry of all classes including Harad cavalry and warg battalions.

Thay also have a compliment of about 20-30 oliphaunts and about a few dozen trolls.

And let's not forget about the Nazgul and the LOTN which is invulnerable from all blows coming from a human.

I think 1000 of America's best soldiers won't last an hour against such odds.

And we aren't even talking about the garrison at Barad dur.

Please read my post sir.

200 SAS won't last a minute sir.

yeh as many 22 SAS troops that could be assembled, have them parachute into Mordor and land on top of them ORC ****s and have constant air strikes in and around Mount Doom. throw in the 16 AA Brigade and a Marines regiment and possibly some Ghurkas as they are the same size as the orcs

My bad again.

No advanced weapons.

No rifles, no planes, etc.

Medieval style warfare.

then this thread is bull****, OK I'll take whichever army ruled the world when they fought with swords and their ****s, lets say an Army led co-operately by Alexander and William Wallace

If this thread is bull**** then feel free not to post.

What composition then if you'd use Alexander's phalanx army and Wallace's scottish tribes. What numbers.

It's all a discussion anyway.

Sounds like this shizz is your bread and butter. I know absolutely fudge all about medieval warfare so its pointless me even having a guess.
