First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I know there are some mistakes in the book e.g. Azog/Yazneg mixup, Narzug being in despite not featuring in the first film, slight mix up with the trolls profiles/background.

Despite this I want to know if the scenarios are actually balanced and fun to play or would I be better off altering them/making my own? Basically the end goal is to play through the whole of the first film and make a little campaign out of it.

Let me know what you think

I've just played a couple: they're fairly balanced but kinda straight forward. I'm thinking of adding some rules and other scenario's for my own campaign

Some of them are reasonably balanced. Others are not so much so but they are all fun so far. Ideally you would play them twice; swapping sides with each player getting a chance of playing both perspectives.

I think you need to play them in a good spirit as I am not sure they are ruthlessly play tested. They are not so much points matched but the evil side often gets lots of re-enforcements or other advantages.

I have just painted up Azog and some Eagles ready for the next scenario (having just done Out of the Frying Pan last): Into the Fire (iirc) and am really looking forward to playing that one.

These scenarios are part of the big Hobbit rulebook? It sounds interesting.

Yeah you get 7 scenarios based on the first film along with 7 scenarios from the lord of the rings films.
