Pygmy Hippo's "Dungeons and Rings" Edges

Polearm:The Great Axe is capable of causing more damage but the Pike is longer and made of more consistent materials. Both are the same weight and while the Axe might be better at its best, some are made of stone so the Pike is just superior overall. Edge:Uruk-hai

Ranged:The Crossbow has more range and power while the Javelins are lighter and able to be used in melee. While the Javelins are faster to reload as well, they're a lot more inaccurate than the Crossbow which means that at a distance, it reigns supreme. Edge:Uruk-hai

Melee:The Hand Axes are lighter and can be thrown but the Orcish Scimitar has more reach and armor-piercing capabilities. The Axes might be slightly superior to the Scimitar thanks to the surprise factor of throwing them and having two to spare while the sword is just as weak in versatility. Edge:Orcs

Armor:The Uruk-hai take this category easily as they're wearing actual armor unlike the Orcs who are wearing basically regular clothes, even if it's just iron, it still holds up better. The Uruk-hai have more armor-piercing weapons on their side to make killing the Orcs through their pathetic protection even easier. Edge:Uruk-hai

X-Factors:The Orcs take Fitness and Experience while the Uruk-hai take Intelligence and Tactics. Realistically, the Uruk-hai's advantages are the same thing but the Orcs would be doing better if they had armor instead of just relying on their flesh to protect from blows. I won't deny that the Orcs superior strength will help a lot in this fight however and their much longer experience should enable them to beat the only slightly more intelligent Uruk-hai in this category. Edge:Orcs

Final Verdict:The Orcs are clearly superhuman berserkers but they're facing an actually somewhat capable opponent here with a better arsenal. Yes, the Uruk-hai only fought against Rohan and the Ents but that's still some impressive foes and they definitely will be able to kill the Orcs effectively while taking some hits. I doubt the Uruk-hai will have more than one man left but ultimately they're smart enough to use their weapons to kill the Orcs quickly before they all get mauled.

Winner:Uruk-hai
