Gothbogg the Ripper has just left Hobbiton.
The Eye What would you have done?

If you were Sauron during the War of the Ring, how would you have tried to attain victory, would you have made any different choices than he did in the book?

Yes. I would have made sure that no one got within a 10 mile cordon around Mount Doom ...

The Eye

Aside from making an appointment with the local Mordor optician to get my obviously myopic eye tested? Maybe I'd have tried to make a few more rings of power, or more practically, lay waste to Ithilien, right as far as Osgiliath, driving out the rangers. But then Sauron wouldn't likely have done much else than the things which he did do, as he was filled with self assurance that he was all-powerful.

LOL HAHAHA SPM I think that will pretty much take care of the problem. I think a land mine right at the entrance to the Sammath Naur would do perfectly well too.

But on a more practical note, I would have made more of a use of Saruman. Sauron used Saruman to his advantage, but he had Saruman in his grasps, I would have definately of used him more.

He should have sent the Balrog on a wild rampage through Gondor. He could have tempted him with promise of, uh, land? Gold? Women? Stranger things have happened. And the Balrog would probably have slaughtered Denethor's army in a matter of moments, before a certain Wizard could come along and save the day.
