Still not news on the EN version of Compendium #2??

Also, did you read that's entire thread? Crunching those numbers as a whole computes to 57% chance of Heroes wining, with 95% confidence. Which basically means very good balance. Even among the anecdotal evidence of the other posts on that thread there is a great deal of disagreements about results, and examples of people playing incorrectly. 

Nope. It simply means that some scenarios are terribly unbalanced in favor of the heroes and others in favor of the OL.

There is no way to determine, from such a tiny data set, that the game is unbalanced, or that any given scenario is broken...

Well, I would say that with a minimum of 25+ games recorded, there are quite a few scenarios with dreadful numbers.

For my part, also anecdotal, I'm just noting a recent trend towards Hero wins. Generally my group can point to one given moment, or bad decision, on the part of the OL that meant a loss for him. I stand by my assertion (and @Matt John S), that no particular scenario is truly broken. Further, I stand by my assessment that the OL needs to play very shrewdly with experienced Heroes, and that the OL has less margin for error.  What has your experience been? Is there a scenario that you find to be 'broken'?

After playing them more than once and with different groups, I would dare to say that Hunting the Tigress, In the Heart of Darkness, The Final Ritual and For all of Ophir's Gold are seriously off-balance (if not broken).

The statistics after recording hundreds of games seem to say otherwise...

Whatever expansions Mololith eventually produces, I sincerely hope the scenarios will be thoroughly tested and properly balanced.

It is a real shame that such a fantastic game is marred by so many broken scenarios both in the core box and the first three expansions.
