General Strategy
Like the Ancient Chieftain of [Moria] or Morgul Warden of [Sauron], Uruk Lieutenant is a minion who gets stronger with company. The otherwise generic strength 8, vitality 2 Uruk-Hai can reach relatively high strength levels in a swarm, particularly at the [3] twilight he costs. With this in mind, Uruk Lieutenant is among the most popular Uruk-Hai minions in the Fellowship of the Ring base set.
Uruk Lieutenant lacks the cultural enforcement of his mirror minions; Uruk Lieutenant can spot [Sauron] Uruk-Hai or [Uruk-hai] Uruk-Hai as well for a strength bonus.
