If there is one thing that elves are not, it is the greatest warriors in Middle-Earth. Buruk Khazad! Khazad Ai-menu! I think on a few occaisions Tolkien notes that the dwarves are the greatest fighters around--that's not to take anything away from elves, who are clearly great warriors--but the dwarves are just better.

But, knowing them, the elves would probably find some way of winning the war anyway... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
