General Strategy

Punishes players for constantly sacrificing characters to the Shadow. Can work well with the Balrog or Hate. The Number Must be Few is generally a good/better alternative since a fellowship of many characters who are not dying is more likely to double move. Sauron's Defenses' inability to spot allies often leaves it unused, as fellowships with too many dead companions generally don't want to double move often.

Strengths and Weaknesses
