Dwarves vs Elves

[skip spence]

How would a mighty Dwarf Lord like Azaghal fare in combat against the likes of an Echtelion, Glorfindel, or Fingolfin?

The Dwarf would not fare well against the Elf, I'm afraid.

Dwarves are very tough and fight Orcs gladly but would struggle against much taller opponents. The great height and reach advantage of the Elves would be the deciding factor I believe.

Consider this:

If Hillmen are too large for Gimli's liking great Elven lords - presumably much taller still - would be a very tough cookie for a Dwarf to handle in single combat.
