Sauron pwns

Is Sauron actually killable? I know it says he has 12 HP on his unit card, but either it's a LOT more than that or he's just isn't supposed to die. Just wanted to know... I recently downloaded Isildur's battle of Orodruin and played the battle as the Alliance. After easily destroying Sauron's orcs and Black Numenoreans, I thought I had this one in the bag.

Then I had to kill Sauron. After about 5 minutes of trying (and failing

) to hunt him down, I thought, "ok, so he's Sauron, so it probably takes a little longer to kill him... then 10 minutes passed, then 15 minutes (I fast forwarded in some places as well)... and Sauron, although very bloody, was still alive and had killed almost 50% of my army. At that point I gave up.

Has anyone actually killed Sauron before? If so, what's the easiest and fastest way to do it? I don't want to play that battle again and waste 15 minutes of my time trying to kill an invincible unit.

Maybe he had only 1 HP left at that time?

He is absolutely killable. Stuff him up using arrows and throwing spears, then overwhelm him with large numbers of infantry. Espcially pikemen do a fine job against him. It'll take a while and it'll be costly, but he's certainly killable.

To beat any elephant unit (Mumakil, Ents, Sauron, or the Balrog) javelins work marvelously. This should really be added to the FAQ, not that anyone would read it but at least I could berate them for not doing so before making the thread.

We have tons of threads liek this, some regarding ents, some others trolls, the balrog or mumakil and now some sauron ones too....

I am sure this will never stop but that
