War of the Rings v04f has been posted in the TOAW Scenario Archive.
Major changes to the scenario are as follows:
1. Sauron’s forces strengthened to achieve better play balance. Most Orc units over-strengthened and the initial stockpile of Orc replacements increased to a number approximately equal to the total number of deployed Orcs. Intent is to enable Orc units to recover (at least until the replacement run out) losses incurred during the early stages of the campaign.
2. For faster deployment of Orc replacements, Orc unit Replacement Priorities upgraded from Low to Normal.
3. Selected Dunlending units strengthened.
4. Events for the appearance of Gandalf the White adjusted to allow for a shorter delay and shorter range. Delay is now 6 turns, range is 20 and probability of Gandalf the White appearing remains at 70%.
5. Supply radius increased for Gondor (8 hexes) and Sauron (7) hexes.
6. An Exclusion Zone placed over Umbar. Exclusion Zone is removed upon activation of the Corsairs.
7. Dark Forces Sea Transport does not become available until Umbar is mobilized. Total sea lift capacity is limited to the movement of four Corsair units.
8. An Exclusion Zone placed around Mt. Doom. The zone is lifted when Western forces enter Mordor and approach Mt. Doom.
The scenario package includes an "Optional House Rules" document.
