Conflict at Carrock definitely can be exciting! We found that the key is to clear the first stage of the quest before the trolls automatically engage, and then to optionally engage them one at a time. Of course, we did that playing 2 player, and I'm sure it's tougher 1 player due to their threat. But with all those Gandalfs and Sneak Attacks, you probably could have kept your threat low enough so you could have picked at least one more of them off on his own before you had to fight the rest.One other thing to keep in mind with those trolls is that almost all of their nasty buffs only take effect if they're actually engaged with a player, so they won't buff each other if you're only fighting one at a time. We missed that the first couple of times through.
3 Fast Hitches on one hobbit seems great, especially when you can buff with Dunedain Warnings and the such! What a great way to get more out of your hero.
