@Durin

1. Would deploying an additional army to the cities besieged by the minor hordes inflict additional casualties
2. In addition would there be time to redeploy them to counter the second wave of minor hordes
3. Are the ork fighters concentrated or split between the major hordes or all the hordes
4. Is it possible to lure the ork fighters away from the hordes into battle with our own fighters and supported by our AA but out of range of their own AA

1. not really, as things are most of the army would only be there to act as reserves, only a corps or so can fight at a time from the upper city defences
2. yes
3. split
4. you can try, however you probably wont be able to do it to many times and the longer any such fight goes on the more Orks will arrive and the greater their outnumbering bonus will get
 
Or in the tunneks between the upper and lower city.

@Durin
1. Can mines be used between the upper and lower city?
2. Would they have any effect given the existing defences?

The larger hordes led by Headcrushas lieutenants are a bigger threat, due to greater numbers, a good fore of Gargents and the higher number of Ork elties within them. Of these the first to worry about is Warboss Facesnappa's Horde , whose combination of large numbers of Big Gunz with Kommandos has the potential to be a worryingly good siege force, though you one that would still have trouble with the defences of the lower city. This would best be coutnered with elites to raid the Big Gunz and stop any attempts to infiltrate by the kommandos. Next is Warboss Scalpchoppa's Horde, whose massive number of walkers and wierdboyz has the potential to both breach the cities defences and be an absolute nightmare in a city fight. You will need to deploy psykers and some of your own superheavies to counter this force. Then there is Warboss Slaystampa's Horde, whose masses of Stormboyz are likely to be able to take the upper city in short order, bypassing many of the defences, and could be a threat to the lower city. Simple numbers and a large number of Hydras should be enough to slaughter this assault.

in verse thease forces would have been in place for a year or more. I wonder if the locals wonderd why their city in particular got an extra helping of AA? I also wonder if the other comaners low key tried to figure out the implications of rotbart assigning forces where he did.
