| − | ===== General Strategy =====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Generic wounding Orc minion, the Orc Soldier, like Orc Scouting Band, Orc Hunters, and Orc War Band, contains the exert-to-wound skirmish special ability. These minions play best in the "Sauron Grind" Shadow, with !support area !conditions like Under the Watching Eye and Orc Bowmen causing uncomfortable assignment match-ups. The !skirmish special ability allows for the Shadow player to place a wound on a free peoples character even when matched against a much stronger companion, and saves the !Shadow player deck space, as the game text is effectively a built-in Mordor's Strength.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As with most Sauron minions, the high site number and !roaming penalty can be cost-restrictive, although Orc Scouting Band reduces the roaming penalty for further Sauron Orcs played. Orc Soldier is the cheapest exert-to-wound minion, making it the most efficient at using its ability, although it is more likely to lose skirmishes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | With skirmish phase game text, Orc Soldier, Orc Scouting Band, and Orc War Band can be countered by pre-skirmish wounding such as Quick As May Be or Legolas, Greenleaf; however, [Sauron] grind support offers powerful pre-skirmish wounding cards such as Hate.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the Movie Block format, Gothmog's Warg can increase the vitality of these exert-to-wound minions, making assignment match-ups even more difficult for the Free Peoples player.
