The four new Dol Guldur skirmishes are detailed below:

At the Necromancer’s Gate, a powerful Olog-Hai thinks he’s king of the hill, and your force must prove him wrong.

Before the Gate of the Ringwraith’s Lair, creatures of nightmare seek to lay a deadly trap.

Man the catapults! A powerful force seeks to capture the outpost at Thangúlhad, and you must drive them back into the darkness.

In the dungeons of Dannenglor, captured elves face torment and destruction, unless you can rescue them from the Enemy!

The Rift of Nûrz Ghâshu

One of the Rangers, mighty fighter for the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, has ventured into the fiery depths of Nûrz Ghâshu, believing that his daughter is trapped within. In this deadly new Skirmish, you must brave flame and madness to rescue a Ranger of the North who has been called to aid his future King. Should you fail, the hope of Middle-earth may be lost.

In addition Turbine has recently written an excellent article detailing skirmishes. Enjoy!
