So you've got Gondor's soldiers or Saruman's Uruk Hai who are all armed with a standard set of weapons all of the same make and dimensions and uniform. Not very much diversity of force it's almost all just swordmen, spearmen, and archers.

And then you've got Mordor's orcs with all kinds of crazy shit and no two orc having the same kind of sword or armor and everyone generally looking like they either hand crafted or looted what they had. A variety of weapons axes, maces, scimitars, scythes and everything in between and stuff that doesn't even have a name.

Which army is supposed to do better?

Do what better?
>>
The one that knows best how to use their weapons in conjunction with their brothers at arms. A variety of weapons means nothing if the army isn't organized. It might give an advantage in unpredictability, but that's about it.

That's not always true you need to remember logistics the uruks don't need supply lines cos they are killing machines the humans need supply lines badly and the orcs scavenge fucking everything so they are really an autonomous military force.

See my other post it just depends

The Uruks turned to cannibalism when the rations ran out.

Even Sauron required lines of supply, the book mentions vast slave fields offscreen that fed Mordors armies.

Depends on who has better training and experience, honestly.

>>47997405
Like give me an example

>>47997419
But the uruks can go for a longer period before falling to disassembly compared to humans .

>>47997387
I'm not saying scavenging for their weapons is a disadvantage in terms of supply. I'm just saying an army that has uniform weapons and the tactics to use them will be better in terms of effectiveness.

>Fight wars

Not every war is the same. There are a lot of different kinds of wars, where different things might be more or less important.

The Uruk Hai were indeed, one on one, better than Sauron's orcs. Hence why the fellowship was so surprised that they were running around during the day, and other shit that Mordor orcs weren't capable of.
An Uruk Hai (Or a soldier of Gondor) was worth 10 Mordor orcs, but the problem was there were 11 orcs.
