Pretty soon, I'm going to be playing against an Isenguard player and I'm feeling a little intimidated by that D6, F4, S4 slab of a front line. I want to try and play him using also using Isenguard so we'd be even fight but we play reasonably differently. He uses mostly Uruk Hai supported by Berserkers and usually a troll. I however use more crossbows and ferals, usually lead by Saruman or another beefy hero. The game should be between 300-500 points.
How can a beat him? I've a bad feeling that the berserkers will over power my uruks and slowly eat away at anything left, even with my crossbows. The troll less so, but I don't want it to bother Saruman for too long.
Any advice folk? Thanks.

If you have cross bow's, he has to come towards you or else he will be shot down. You should shield with Uruk-Hai if they are 1v1 vs a berserker unless you have pike support. Try and immobilise his best heroes or troll with saruman

I feel like you might run into trouble with Saruman at 300 or even 500. Thought I guess if he has a troll maybe you wont be too out numbered and you can immobilize the troll and blast away supports and stuff. I think the crossbows give you the advantage. depends on the scenario a bit and everything and a mirror match like this will be close regardless but I think your list is better.

Thanks guys, but he's said he's quit the game and is getting rid of his stuff. Thank you all though :)
