Tybaltcapulet's " Jumping into yet another genre i'm unfamilar with" Edges:

Weapons/Equipment: To me this is a pretty easy win for Belegar. Azog is bringing what I would consider to be a detrimental weapon with him, the Ball and Chain. This weapon has proven to be ineffective, and tiring to use and therefore can't compare to the tried and true Hammer of Angrund. Azog will have to use the Mace and Sword to be able to even attempt to inflict damage. And sorry Azog, but I don't see a mace and a sword that's attached to you being able to do anything to the Shield of Defiance. Azog's weaponry essentially is either completely outclassed or will be repelled by the Shield. Edge: Belegar Ironhammer

X-factors: Again this is pretty straightforward as a victory for Belegar. Azog has one thing on his side, Physicality. Obviously putting a Dwarf vs an Orc would go in Azog's favor as he was able to overcome three armored dwarves, so in a purely physical fight, Azog would be superior. He fails just about everywhere else though, as Belegar is just simply the better warrior in all important regards. Azog is a self-trained individual, using his combat ability and his own techniques. Belegar on the other hand has the training of veteran dwarves who have ample experience in combat. Speaking of Experience, Belegar has faced more varied opponents for a longer time, including giants which are known for their size and strength. Azog has more experience leading other races or species than actually fighting them  and is based on the author's description, mostly familar with Dwarven kind. Belegar has dealt with those who are stronger than him and prevailed so there really shouldn't be a problem here. Do I even have to explain armor here? Azog is much more focused on speed and mobility, than on actual protection, so Belegar's weaponry should have no problem going through it. Azog's weapons? Nah they'll be stopped by either Belegar's shield, and if they actually manage to get through, Belegar's heavy armor. Any way you slice it, Belegar is the better warrior here.Edge: Belegar Ironhammer 

Overall: I'm with Appel on this one in saying that Belegar Ironhammer should have no problem dispatching Azog. He's just got way too much on his side for Azog to be able to do anything to him. First of all, Belegar is stacked with efficient weaponry, and armor that can take just about anything that Azog dishes out. And secondly, Belegar is also stacked on X-factors, only losing out in Physicality (though this should be no trouble since Belegar has fought giants before). He's the more experienced, better trained and better protected warrior. Azog will get his ass kicked by a midget, and there's nothing he can do to stop it

Belegar Ironhammer: 4500

Azog: 500
