The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game/Tactics/Azog's Legion

Why Play Azog's Legion

Azog's Legion is like a mix of Mordor and Moria, you have your tough hard hitting orcs and trolls, goblins for ambusing, then you got some bats and ogres for faster movement and harassment. They play best as an aggressive army, get them stuck into the fight quick and watch them break through shield walls and other defences your enemy will try to hold up.

Pros

• Have an advantage fighting against Elves and Dwarves.
• A good variety of units to select from.

Cons

• Only Bolg and a catapult Troll are your options for range attacks
• Most of your army is from Forge World so it's going to cost you.
• Failcast

Army Bonus

If Azog or Bolg is leading your army then they get the master of battle special rule.
