Need help with "A Show of Force" Legendary

Help!
Can't even get close to winning this one.

I don't know... the usual Orc strategy works fine: expand with Raiders, then some Mystics for maneuverability, and you should be able to contain the Dwarves long enough to start buying Ogres. Tanks are no match for them, especially when backed up by Mystics.

Oh, and don't forget to make a few more Raiders. They're great for surrounding lone Tanks, or as cannon fodder that you summon to protect a city for one turn.

Start with lots of raiders. Be sure to mob the smith(s) that come to the town below your start town, using 3 raiders. Once you have 3+ cities, go for a combination of units.

OK. I'll try again.
Those smiths are tough!
