Very unfortunate pull for the Orcs here. Assuming they're allowed to use whatever weapons they canonically have, shotguns, rifles, and flamethrowers > Swords, shields, and bows. Vorcha win through massive technological superiority

[Magnamax]

The orcs best advantage is usually numbers, swarming and intimidation. I don’t know anything about the Vorcha, but orcs usually number in the tens of thousands. Even firearms can get overwhelmed with the right numbers. That’s probably the orcs’ best chance.

My take would be that, given equal weaponry, the Orcs would be the superior force.

I will make the assumption for my vote that the weaponry, while unspecified, is equal. Because, otherwise, that would not be entertaining to the crowd.

This is only true if the equal weaponry is also the Orc's weaponry, in my opinion. If the Orcs are instead given the Vorcha's more advanced tech, their lack of experience with it would make them much worse with it than the Vorcha. Automatically making it the Orc's weaponry is giving the Orcs a lot of concessions if you ask me

Are these Orcs of any specific franchise like LotR or Warcraft, or are they just generic Orcs? My opinion could change based on what kind of Orcs these are.

A little late of me to bring this up, but if it were me, I'd go with the most powerful version myself.

I didn’t really specify up until this point, so I won’t really try to now. I think a composite orc is fair, I generally just think of Tolkien orcs when I picked them so make of that what you want.
