I`ve played this several times and never lost. It just rocks! (also playable in standard as a surprise poorman`s kill

)

Sites :
Any battleground will do (especially
the great gates)
+
Doors of durin (another -1)
Emyn muil (fiercemaker)
Rohan uplands (no archery wounds)
Strategy:
It`s depends heavily on conditions so that`s a downside of course but a well timed
invincible uruk sometimes does the trick.
Basically
Invincible uruk and
fortitude let minions survive until the skirmish.
Weapons of control loaded by 1
fearless approach make a companion total -3 strength.
Isengard sword another -2, That`s a 10 strength aragorn cut in half. Or a halfling cut in a quarter
Suffered much loss makes all the sites battleground and then
brutality is… well, just brutal!
Normally I play 1 minion every turn, killing a companion every 2 sites.
Extra fun when the ring bearer is the only one who is unwounded-->
barbaric uruk! Maybe with a welltimed
neekerbreekers bog: exert every comp except for frodo (due to his high resistance) and voillà! assign
barbaric uruk to frodo

Downsides:
- Tends to clog sometimes so usually I play this next to a somewhat cycling fellowship
- Works best if you let your opponent walk on your sites
- Conditionbased is never safe
- Gil-Estel re-thinks your friendship
