Right when I was about to start messing with the Dwarves!
I would have totally kicked your beardy asses out of the High Pass, I'm telling you!

The whole High Pass thing was deliberately designed to provoke an attack. I wanted to thin the Goblin population, and would rather defend a fortress in the mountains than assault one. Defending fortresses against goblins is kind of the whole point of dwarf culture. It's like what building tombs was to Egypt.
That's not to say it wouldn't have gone horribly wrong, but you were dancing to my tune all along!

I expected something bad to come from the Eastern Dwarves, they were obviously in the position to stab me in the back as soon as I would have been even vaguely vulnerable, but I thought that the Dwarven fortresses in the High Pass were a more imminent threat and I had the Grey Mountains to slow down an attack from that direction anyway.
Although I was never going to launch a direct frontal assault on the High Pass, not yet at least: my plan for this turn was to launch raids, make ambushes and sabotage logistics and forts to generally weaken the Dwarves in the High Pass while avoiding a big pitched battle. Then, according to how effective my Orcs would have been, I would have either tried to take the place directly or tried to come up with some other indirect tactic.
Whether that strategy would have been a huge failure or an outstanding success we'll never know.
But Orcs would have won in the end, 'cuz Green iz Best! Although LotR Orcs are not green, so...

That actually would probably work, since there's no way the High Pass could be self sufficient. Ambushing supplies would be quite effective.
