Orc Tactics

So having seen the new Two Towers Tolkien movie, I have to sympathise with the Orcs. They have all the coolest technology: crossbows, gunpowder, siege engines, metallurgy, remote surveillance, and airborne units. They use all the best tactics: defensive formations, scouts, flanking, diversions. And above all else they have a huge advantage in numbers. Against this Tolkien’s Whitefolk of the West seem to possess only badly made longbows and swords, virtually no military discipline, zero intelligence of their enemy’s numbers or deployment, and incredibly bad perms. And yet the Orcs keep losing. If I was them I’d get new leaders.
