Tactical Discussion-Warg Charge

[Maerbenn]

The Professor hints at the nature of Wargs in a footnote to letter #297:

The word Warg used in The Hobbit and the L.R. for an evil breed of (demonic) wolves is not supposed to be A-S specifically, and is given prim. Germanic form as representing the noun common to the Northmen of these creatures.

[WarBringer]

Wargs are much more fierce than horses, it is in their every nature (they're wolfish and eat meat!), so i don't think that the same tactics as a horse charge would apply here.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Orcs would be wise to use hungry Wargs; they'd be even more bloodthirsty then.

A cruel, yet effective tactic (yet perhaps I forget whom I am talking about!)

Here's an idea. Wargs do not strike me as necessarily the smartest creatures, and they are certainly reckless and agressive. The use of pitfalls and other such hidden traps would easily slow a charge, if one had time to prepare them. For the short term, a barbed wire type wall (almost like a trip wire) or a spear wall might be effective.
