Damn, I meant Saigon. Please ignore.
Geeze, I can just picture the last Glass Elevator off the factory roof, with Oompa-Loompas trying to cling to the runners.
Well any refugees that make it out in the ensuing years will probably be welcome in my home town.
Orange County. Please don’t hurt me.
Frequent use of Agent Orange will leave few survivors.
Oompah are fairly belligerent, and very organized, but they have several strikes against them:
- There are very few of them, relative to the Munchkins, whose lands take up a quarter of Oz.
- They’re motivated mostly by chocolate. Absolutely addicted to the stuff. If the battle’s taking place in Wonka’s territory, that’s not a factor, but in Munchkinland, it’s a simple matter of cutting off their supply lines and bringing in the good Emerald City truffles, or just sitting back and watching them turn on themselves for the last few bars, and then watching the survivors drift off into the wilderness.
But Oompa-Loompas ARE capable of living off nothing more than mashed green caterpillars. While Munchkins are invariably farmers. That gives Oompa-Loompas a huge edge in unconventional warfare and living off the land.
Now I have an image of Munchkins being hacked to pieces by fantasy style armored dwarves with battleaxes. Or run over from that goblin-crusher “war toy” from one of the Salvatore novels, while the dwarves pushing it sing And now we’re gonna crush some Munchkin boys ! !.
I bet on the Munchkins. They’ve better technology. Plus, to be complete we’d need to add the villain I met on City of Villains last night. His bio went into detail about he and his followers were training and arming to take the factory from “that bastard Wonka” for his people, kill Wonka’s family and make him watch, that sort of thing. So they already have a small yet brutal military force - with at least some superpowered members, at that !
Until the Feegles run into treecats. Tiny blue thugs < horde of furry buzzsaws. In the hierarchy of small, cute, lethal things, treecats are pretty high up there.
Then they can acclaim Greebo as their leader.
Bah. Oompa Loompas.
I just do not know who would win between Oompa-Loompas and the Munchkins.
As far as height challenged cadres, I would take the average Dwarven army against all comers. Goblins would make quick work and a tasty stew of the Munchkins or Oompa-Loompas and even Hobbits would mow them down with slings and bows.
Sorry for the sidebar.
In thinking it over carefully, I do not believe there is much to recommend for either of the two groups in warfare, but I suspect there might be depths to the Oompa-Loompas we do not know about.

Any depths would have to be, by definition, unsuspected, ne c’est pas?
50 posts already . . . and I could never get anybody to take this much interest in my Draka vs. Dorsai threads . . .
Hey, nobody’s more surprised than me, and I started this thing. In more than a few cases, the threads I start usually die faster than a Munchkin at the hands of an Oompa-Loompa.
Perhaps because as I’ve seen on boards that have these kinds of vrs debates regularly, most people who know who the Draka are prefer more . . . lopsided ones. Draka vrs the Borg, AAnn Empire vrs the Draka, Draka vrs the 40k Imperium, 5th Imperium vrs the Draka, the Shrike vrs the Draka. That sort of thing. Or more straightforwardly “How would you gruesomely annihilate the Draka”.
It has to be the Oompa-Loompas; the munchkins would sing their song before the fight; the Oompa-Loompas would sing one afterwards. If it looks like the Munchkins were getting the upper hand, I’d pick a few of them off with a sniper rifle just so we get the full musical performance.
Hmmm . . . Well, the Borg don’t annihilate, they assimilate . . . assimilate the unique features of every sentient species they encounter and add it to their own culture . . . Imagine a Drakafied Collective! 
Before, you only thought the Borg were aggressive!
