I've been playing Wesnoth a lot since I saw it mentioned on this thread. I'm having a problem with the balance of the initial campaign, Heir to the Throne, on Heroic Difficulty. The first scenario seems like a random coin-toss -- if enough orcs happen to wander into your exit path, you can't win no matter how carefully you play, but if there is a path through them then you can win. The second scenario seems way too easy. I tried passing all 9 of my turns one time, and I *almost* won anyway, even though I didn't do anything. The third scenario I've never won yet, and since the first two seemed so... sloppily balanced, I'm not entirely sure it is possible to win the 3rd scenario on heroic mode.

Speaking of which, maybe I'll go try again...
