| Hi David, if you check the geek, you will see I’ve been improving this game for some time. The purpose behind the character expansion was two fold: 1) The Sauron (and Saruman player in the three player game) have too few leaders. - AND - 2) Many fun characters from the book were missing. I also didn’t like the idea that any leader could lead any troops. Now admittedly SPI’s “War of the Ring” was intended for less sophisticated gamers than SPI’s usual customers. But still, is the leader of Dol-Amroth (a human in Gondor), going to be successful leading a dwarven force? In the base game all of the leaders are awesome. But if every- one is awesome, then no one is awesome. Now with a few ‘ordinarily competent’ leaders in the game, you can get a sense of just how good Aragorn II is. *** The game is long published, and my expansion is published. Feedback is welcome, but unless I go, “Oh my gosh, I totally blew that!!!”, I’m not likely to revise things. And if you have not played the game recently, and not played my expansions at all, I doubt that you will have a good feel for the game. (My expansions are based on the official errata, and that errata made some pretty big changes to the game. Some of my changes tone down the official changes.) Thanks for your comments! Warm regards, Rick.
