''Ah, welcome! I see that you are a great military strategist, and would love to help me out with my conquest of all of the orcs of Mordor and men of Umbar that pillage my beloved land of Dol Amroth. Before I go ahead on this noble crusade, I must prepare my legions, for there are many powerful players (with powerful armies) that will try to halt my tracks.''

In all seriousness, though, I was curious what kind of army strategies you guys would tend to use in a battle. I've got a budget of 10k, and alignment with all elf, factions, as well as Durin's Folk, Rohan and Gondor. I wanted to strike a base in Umbar, as well as a base in Mordor (and maybe a base in Isengard if I have untis to spare). The rules on the server are that I would have a fifteen minute period with banner protection and keepIventory disabled on the fortress. If I am to lose I must pay a fine. If I am to win, I take the base.

Are there any units you guys would appoint to do the task? And any strategies you would generally use? I was thinking of using the rangers of Ithilien for a first strike and setting off some TNT to get inside the wall, followed by a massive cavalry to overrun the fortress. However there is an item shop where I can buy redstone, so TNT cannons are also an option. Keep in mind I only have 15 minutes.

Thanks!
