Doesn't their renewed focus on LotR mean they've been looking at those rules? Their community website even puts a spotlight on those Ironhill dwarves.

War of the Rings and The Hobbit Strategy Battle Game are two very different game systems. WotR is a unit based game similar to WFB that places round-based LotR figures into movement trays to form units. The Hobbit (the most recent revision to the original Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game) uses individual round based figures that move and fight independently. The Hobbit SBG is the rules system that is getting the renewed attention. AFAIK, WorR is still dead and I have heard of no plans to revive it.
