Mordor would include the Nazgul, orcs, Sauron, Shelob, trolls, Easterlings, Southrons, and corsairs of the coast.

Fangorn includes Saruman, urukhai, ents, and the wizard counsel.

Men of the West would be Gondor, Rohan, and the oath breaker ghost dudes.

Shire would be the many Hobbits including Smeagol and Tom Bombadil. This one could be combined with something else.

Misty Mtns. would be Gollum, dwarves, goblins, cave trolls, and balrogs.

Elven Alliance would be the elves from Rivendell and Lorien.

Mirkwood would include Shelob's offspring, forest elves, other peoples from the Hobbit, and Smaug.

That's seven generals, which is the same number of generals as classic scape. I honestly think that using classic generals will take away from the units. Actually building a Mordor-based army in a general wars game would be extremely fun.
If we do end up going the route of 7 custom generals (which I would not be opposed to) I would not be in favor of above 7 generals. I would be in favor something along the lines of this.
  • Mordor
  • Isengard
  • Gondor
  • Rohan
  • dwarfs
  • Elves
  • miscellaneous
We could also condense Gondor and Rohan to make room for Angband, or we could have more then 7 generals.

If we use official generals I would like to have a rough outline of what would go with each general before we start designing figures.
  • Gondor/Jandar
  • Rohan/Einar
  • Mordor/Utgar
  • Isengard/Valkrill
  • Elves/Ullar
  • Dwarfs/aquilla
  • miscellaneous/vydar
