Expensive expansion

Anyone familiar with the first edition of the Ring War, probably knows the first and only expansion for this game.
At that time, there were virtually two games: on the one hand new characters, nations and units for the entire War of the Ring, on the other hand a whole new game, in which two decisive battles of the ring war _ the battle of Helm's Deep and the Battle of Minas Tirith - could be replayed in detail ,
With the second edition of the Ring War, the first extension is now available for the second edition.
And it contains - little. Only the new characters like Galadriel, the Balrog or Elriond there in this expansion.
Here are some new event cards. The use mode of the new characters was changed. They bring additional cube, but you can lose very quickly.
And all this for quite a lot of money.
In other words: Who has the first edition of the Ring War and its expansion, should remain. With the second edition all extensions are sold piecemeal and expensive.
