Darth Vader vs Lord of the Rings

The Dark Lord of the Sith has the ring. Everyone in Middle Earth wants it.

He's holed up in Helms Deep, with an army of storm troopers.

Sooner or later, Stormtroopers will run out of ammo.

And sooner or later, Vader will get assassinated by Nazguls.

All of Middle Earth? Like ALL of it?

How large is this army of stormtroopers? What equipment do they have? They would be facing billions of opponents here so they would need to be uber stacked

Could the OP specify on Vader's forces.

I don't think the Nazgul would pose a threat. I'm thinking more of The Army of the Dead as the real trump card here.

Their standard equipment = E-11 Blaster Rifles.

Army of the Dead would have no interest in the ring, though.

Nazguls can keep coming back till they do the job. And eventually, they would. They have the spells of their own... not to mention that Vader's suit would run out of energy... and he wouldn't be able to keep sustaining himself with the Force forever.

LoTR verse populace wins. There’s too much versatility and power coming from every side.

Plus, there is no time limit here or any restrictions.

Time is against Vader. Sauron is patient.

Nazguls are immortal.

Stormtroopers don't have unlimited ammo.

Vader can't re-energize himself in his meditation chamber or heal in a bacta tank, he also can't hope to repair or recharge his armor.

You need to specify on Vader's army and their equipment.

That's fair.

We'll see how the OP specifies the battle conditions.

I mean, the elves can just sit and wait for vader to die of old age or something.

Well, I think it would be unfair for there to be no time-limit, as for obvious reasons.

Let's say as many ground troops as would be required for waging a war on a single planet.

Throw in Tie air support and ATST's, too. No orbital bombardment.

Well it would take thousands of Storm troopers to hit one enemy so there's that.

What's Vader objective here and for how long is this campaign?

Hold out as long as he could. He wins if everyone else dies.

He fails, then.
