Soldiers versus Hogwarts

OK kids, here we go...

Same storyline as The Deathly Hallows. The Order of the Phoenix is inside Hogwarts with the shield raised. This time, however, they have Voldemort and his army inside with him. They must defend the castle. Also on the side of the wizards is Gandalf the Grey, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Saruman, Balthazar Blake and 500 orcs.

From who? 250 Colonial Marines and 250 Mobile Infantry. The CM and MI are armed with pulse rifles, Morita rifles, Smart guns, pretty much everything at their disposal. One condition: The CM cannot nuke the castle from orbit. Also on the side of the CM/MI are: 200 Xenomorphs and 200 Arachnids (they will follow the orders of Rico, Ripley, Hicks and Razchek. 100 of the Arachnids are fliers.) The CM also have two drop ships for aerial support, and several APC. Let's say 15.

The wizards have an hour prep time to establish a defense. The CM/MI have an hour to prepare an offensive. The shield is up, but the CM/MI can see the castle. The CM/MI have one goal: Infiltrate the castle and kill everyone inside. The wizards, obviously, must survive this.

So, who wins? If the numbers are off, tilting the favor incredibly towards one side, or if you guys can think of more members for the wizard team, feel free to propose a revision of the OP.

I thought hog warts would win until I saw the xenomorphs and the arachnids

They are formidable, but the wizards have the Orcs, giants and huge stone sentinels.

Perhaps.

Mobile Infantry wins

What about Fiend Fyre?

Isn't Starship Troopers fairly OP'd, like, foot soldiers have mini nukes as weapons as weapons or some shit? Or is that EU stuff?

The Starship Troopers movies did indeed show them using mini-nukes and since RJ only banned the CMs from nuking from the sky. that means the Mobile Infantry can still use their ground based mini-nukes.

Of course now that this has been pointed out, he'll probably try and change the stips because he doesn't want the soldiers to win

Not sure.

I think if facehuggers were added, that would make the victory secure.

Mini-nukes ftw.

Soldiers stomp

But the wizards have much more than that to work with.
