OK, I've got 5K, and here are my numbers: 1,000 Frozen Skirmishers (1K) 500 Black Wargs (1K) 100 Bronze Knights of Dol Guldur (1K) 50 Werewolves 25 Heavily Armored Trolls 5 Ironheads (50) 20 Zag-Meze Elgereze (50) 20 Guards of Ashmog (100) 100 Cave Shields (100) 50 Black Uruk Shield-Bows (100) 50 Black Bowmen (100) 20 High Gundabad Trebuchet (500)
Well, their is my army of 5,000 MWE. Here are my moves (by the way, the fortress I was building is 30%, which I take to mean that it is enough that I can hide behind it with basic orcs, staying near the wall (even though you can them jump onto them.). Would this be correct?
*The Black Wargs and Bronze Knights split into 6 Groups of 100 (All groups have Bronze Knights AND Black Wargs) and begin running around, ready to attack.* *The Frozen Skirmishers make 6 Groups, 1 of 500 and 5 of 100. Each of the smaller Groups does what the groups of melee cavalry are doing, the Large one ready's outside the fortress.* *The Trebuchet fire when something is within range.* *Infantry ready themselves for combat.*
Tul Generas of the Orcs, Darthraxx of the dragon Knights. I RP, and have lots of fun.
The Dwarves from the Iron Hills move towards the Rhunic forces.
They form up and begin a barrage of crossbow bolts. There are four ranks of 200 Heavy Crossbowmen, with 200 Shield-bearers in front of them to provide protection.
The cavalry and macemen group up away from the main army, on opposite sides.
The Axemen line up in front of the archers, with 250 Doppelsoldners on either side of them.

Gah! Sorry. Got my numbers mixed up a bit when figuring out which troops were going where. I fixed the list, so it is three thousand.
Sounds good enough. Where are your trebuchets located, relative to me, you fort, and your other troops?
*My army moves into formation. Dwarf spearmen cover the front line, while farmer linemen take the flanks. The artillery and archers gather in the middle. The huntsmen linger nearby, while the Dunedain and Hobbits scatter and your troops soon lose track of them.* *As of right now, the main army stays out of range of your trebuchets (and presumably your main body of archers).*

The Axemen line up in front of the archers, with 250 Doppelsoldners on either side of them.
800 Heavy Crossbowmen - 800 DWE
200 Shield-bearers - 200 DWE
200 Shock-boars - 900 DWE
300 Barashathur - 900 DWE
1,000 Axemen - 2,000 DWE
200 Macemen - 200 DWE
500 Doppelsoldners - 1,000 DWE
Total - 6,000 DWE
The Easterlings take minimal losses from the bolts as the majority of the forces are wearing heavy armor and they are at a decent range from the dwarves.
The Clan Hunters darken the sky with their arrows, using their superior range to stay out of range of the crossbows. The Dragon's Skin lines up in front of the Dogu-Vasi, who are situated about 100 meters away from the archers. The Dragon's Will stays off to the side.
The Dragon's Skin slowly advances towards the Macemen. The Dogu-Vasi stay put, and the Dragon's Will canters towards the Macemen.

The Axemen take very few losses due to their armor, but at least a dozen of their number have fallen. They move forward towards the Dogu-Vasi.
The Crossbowmen begin firing at the Dragon's Skin, and the Macemen retreat. The Doppelsoldners move to engage the Dragon's Skin.
The Dogu-Vasi form a shield wall, and the Hunters focus their fire on the Axemen.
The Dragon's Skin breaks into a charge and engages the Doppelsoldners, trying to surround the dwarves. They use their size to their advantage, swinging their weapons in downward strokes that could cleave a dwarf in two if he was hit.
