Whole heartily agree with Pfr_Fate. The SW coop events chart makes everything a little more difficult.

WisdomKngiht, are you playing advanced rules? Where you need to roll vs cunning or spirit to collect investigation on the board? I have found that this rule alone has slowed the hero progress a lot. I think it would change your gameplay as you never get enough investigation to buy the really useful town items (silver bullets, rifle, etc). Also when you are KO'd you end up losing a lot of your gear and allies.

The other thing may be that some of the villain actions require movement of the shadow track that you may be forgetting, like for instance the crows. If you get the same random location, or a random location next to an already occupied space (by a crow) you need to move the shadow track 1 step per crow minion not placed. I know when playing the werewolf I ran out of feral kin, and if you run out of minions you must up the shadow track by 1 per missed minion.

I hope this helps.

BTW, this Halloween we played against the reaper HP2. We lost within 10 rounds. So yes, it gets a lot harder.

Have fun and don't give up on ATOE, please!
