Right then, I've read through the topic, and I have to agree you broke through. The trench and boulders will stop you going through a decent segment of it, though.
Now, losses.
I entered the second part of the battle with 1 Trebuchet, 9 Ballistae, 200 Grey Archers (1.6 each; 320 MWE) 250 Stair Shooters (2 each; 500 MWE) 200 Heavy Archers (5 each; 1, 000 MWE) and 1, 250 Powered Infantry (1.6 each; 2, 000 MWE).
The siege engines were wiped out. Between your siege engines, archers, and general chaos, I'd say the Grey Archers and Stair Shooters were also eliminated. The Heavy Archers would also take substantial losses, but their armour would have allowed them to survive more than their fellows. I judge that 50 of them (250 MWE) would have survived. Now, onto the Powered Infantry. They never actually engaged, but would have been prey to fire that went too far, and the falling wall. I imagine a quarter and a bit, 350 of them (560 MWE) would have perished, leaving me with 900 (1, 440 MWE).
In short, I propose that I leave with 50 Heavy Archers (250 MWE) and 900 Powered Infantry (1, 440 MWE).

Any objections?
Nope! Not at all. Great. Now I have to figure out my side.
So I started with:
250 Halberdiers, 1 each, 250 total 500 Gunuzirak, 2 each, 1,000 total 50 Mortars, 3 each, 150 total 20 Fireblades, 10 each, 200 total 48 LTs, 10 each, 480 total 32 HATs, 15 each, 480 total 16 MAPs, 40 each, 640 total 10 EPAs, 30 each, 300 total
926 units, worth 3,500, 4,666 MWE.
To start with the easy stuff, all of the Fireblades would be of course destroyed, given that I more or less brought a wall down on top of them. Outside of those, I think most of the casualties I took were from miscellaneous fire from yours and Gotee's archers and artillery. So that would be ~1500 crossbowmen, 650 archers (of various sorts), ~35 heavy artillery, and 30 light artillery. As far as heavy artillery goes, my 42 would probably be down to about 14 (4 EPAs, 10 HATs) given their somewhat better survivability (due to armored chassis). With arrow-fire and light artillery, I'm going to estimate 450 Gunuzirak lost, 30 mortars, 28 LTs, and 10 MAPs, plus 100 halberdiers. So after 646 losses (worth 2,100), that leaves me with:

The last of the Powered Infantry enter Moria, shifting the boulders to make it even more difficult to reach the door, and slam the Gates of the Dwarrowdelf behind them.

So is the battle here technically over now?
Considering no Morian unitry remain, I would believe so. However. . . *Any troops inside Moria fire at any Dwarf in range, through arrow slits or siege engines behind the Gate.*
Tul Generas of the Orcs, Darthraxx of the dragon Knights. I RP, and have lots of fun.

Will you be around to continue it? This is the first I've seen of you here in I think two months.
Yeah, I haven't been around for a while, but I should be active over the next two weeks or so.
Well then, we shall see how this goes. As you've probably noticed, I myself have been quite busy as of late, and this battle won't be over by the thirteenth.
Anyways, I'll need to know where your troops are, and what you have left at this point.
