bruenor and Drizzt would both be extremely difficult to put down. wulfgar has the strength and powerful weapon to destroy there formations and catt. can reak havok with her bow.
I think the Companions can win so long as they survive the possible volley of 300 spears at the beginning.
Only ones I could see going down are Wulfgar and Catti-Brie. I could see Wulfgar getting a little too cocky and wading into them all killing a bunch, sure, but eventually getting skewered by a few spears. That might not bring him down, but I think he'd accumulate enough wounds to stop him.
The 300 win. The Companions wouldn't be able to take 300 orcs at once by themselves, unless they had the advantage of fighting them in small groups (IE, in a building or cave). Spartans >>>> Orcs. Cattie-Brie kills the most, thanks to Heartseeker and Khazidea (still dont know how to spell the damn swords name).

Bruenor fought more then 300 orcs by him self on at least three occassions.
At one point he literally fought 1000's and killed so many orcs in one day that it surpassed the amount of kills he has had in many years prior combind
Maybe, but he wasnt alone. He had an army of dwarves backing him, along with most of the Companions. Its easier to fight when you have people to keep you from getting surrounded and stabbed in the back.

Obviously you can have elite orcs....but in general, a Sparatan will be superior to an Orc the same way that in general, a Kree will be superior to a Human.
Even though there are exceptional humans.
Basically, Orcs might as well be Hand Ninjas.
Do you think 'Spartans > Hand Ninjas' would depend heavily upon the individual ninja?
For a few of them, sure. But not for all 300. I don't remember any drow making mroe than a few globes of darkness at once, and even that might be an exaggeration.
He'd be the toughest to bring down, no doubt, but the discipline and numbers advantage I just think is too much.
You have a good point. The terrain factors into this heavily, if its in a choke point the Companions can neutralize the Spartans numbers advantage (ironically exactly how the Spartans inflicted so much damage in their battle at Thermopylae). It doesn't give them a majority, but it definitely increases their odds.
