Well, we don't actually know that Húrin killed 70 trolls. We know he killed 70 enemies including trolls, but it doesn't go into detail (there was a thread on this some time ago, I'll see if I can find it).
Anyway, I like to think that he didkill 70 trolls. But all I'm saying is that the way words are ordered make a difference. Anyway, What you say about ME being a land full of saga-like stories is true.

edit: Well, the thread wasn't actually about about that, but it was discussed here

And it would not matter if it was trolls or not unless that in the ranks of Angband there was a creature that died when you looked sternly at it, then Hurin's achievment would seem less fantastical.
