Boiling cauldrons requires a hue amount of heat, and cauldrons are very expensive to make and have. If you boiled water inside cauldrons, now, there we have a tactic, although water cools down quite rapidly when exposed to air, so it will singe one or two orcs per go.

Let's be honest, this is nobody's fault but yours.

Hmph. Rubbish! Your orcs come to rape and pillage, and have only one thing to contribute to Middle-Earth: death and destruction.

And you also contribute to and promulgate hateful and untrue stereotypes, another sin to add to your list of crimes.

Honestly, I can't remember any instances of Orc rape. Elf rape, on the other hand...

And are you going to deny the everyman's working Orc the right to a little bit of pillage from his foes?

The working Orc's job is to kill, that's it.

Would the ports of Forlond and Harlond have been abandoned by the Elves of Lindon? I'm unsure as to how many elves are still living in Lindon and the Grey Havens, considering that most of them were leaving during the War of the Ring and I'm guessing that a change in plan on what to do with the Ring probably wouldn't have changed their decision.

Apparently they're effectively gone; those who remained went to Imladris, and any who remained went to the Havens. You could probably say a hundred or so refused both calls though.

Seven thousands, with another eight thousand marching along routes farther east between the Ettenmoors and Trollshaws. Not a huge force, but not a pushover either.

Certainly. If you abandon Ost-in-Edhil, you could turn back the army approaching the Trollfells.

I'm have tempted to send Elrond to the Valar, and then he returns with the Host of the Valar, stomping everyone and sending Sauron cowering like when Ar-Pharazon landed on Middle-Earth.

Ehh, I doubt the Valar could be convinced. Their realm is now even further removed from Middle-Earth than during the War of Wrath.
