Set up Sauron and Pedestal about 2 hexes behind the line.

Target the sole Dwarf leader.

Attack stacks containing leaders.

Use Wrath of the Ringwraith.

Use Wargs to envelop enemy flanks, then disrupt men with the SV spell and force to retreat.

Retreat to Mordor before Westernesse is demoralized (fanatical).
