There's a list of Avalon Hill EAN codes that's doing the rounds - it's an official list and includes Jungles of Delthrak and another expansion called First Light, no other details yet.

can see one or two of the natives loving (not) the rule allowing Zargon to drop in the ranged attack orcs, gobbos & skellies in place of the normal ones.
won't always matter but will make a challenge for the usual room clearing "by the book" method when some of the baddies can back off and still be dangerous

It also gives the Zargon player more interesting considerations when deploying monsters in a room, and means the Wizard and other “soft” characters can just duck behind piece of scenery to limit the number that can attack them.
Of course, the aim is for a fun, and close game. So it’s down to the Zargon player not to use them just to get some cheap character deaths in.

Ranged monsters are a fun addition I think, though I'm surprised most Zargons allow the boring doorway fights. Though house ruling is required, the game begs for house ruling.

I feel as Zargon its my job to help the heros kill themselves through overconfidence and carelessness/stupidity
a trap never takes the last body point, have made it quite clear locally that just because you pushed the elf into the room and nothing triggered doesn't mean its "safe". likewise monsters won't go for the weakest unless they have high mind points
doorway fights have seen monsters refuse to cooperate except zombies & skellies
