Probably not.  They're supposed to be dropped after three months of
inactivity.  In practice, they usually stay longer, but...  Anyhow,
enough time has passed that your old setup would be too weak to be
effective in that game, probably.

You might consider setting up in New Island Campaign #3.  It's due to
start in the next month or so, and since it's a new module, you don't
have the disadvantage of competing with players who've built up a
large fund of knowledge about the module.  You might want to get the
new rule books, too.  (Though they'll be revised in about half a year
for Legends II.)

>Anyone have any tip's on a good hero type set up.

The main thing about heroic positions is that they aren't much good
without support.  A hero-overlord or hero-mercenary combination, on
the other hand, can be very effective.  I'd suggest that whatever
game you go into, you first coordinate your setup with an overlord
or mercenary player in the same game.
