How to get initiative for Southrons when playing expanded?

[LoveMeAndDespair]

I was going to use the card, Haradwaith, and then I saw that it is only for Return of the King sites.
But I'm playing with Expanded sites.
So how can I give my Southrons (or Easterlings, for that matter) the initiative, to use with cards like New Strength Came Now, Rout, Mumakil?
Is Harsh Tongues the answer? Does it work?

Harsh Tongues would be OK with alot of ambush minions to build up the shadow for the regroup phase .... Condition destruction will be a problem though.

I use both Harsh Tongues and Southron Chieftain in my Initiative deck. Keep in mind that the effect of Southron Chieftain lasts until the end of the turn.

Thanks! Southron Chieftain is a good idea. I'll have to buy him though because I don't have any for my RL deck!
