You need a lot of luck. Just when we think we are doing well, a whole batch of Event Tiles seem to turn up and overtake us. And with only two players, there never seems to be enough Hobbit cards. I should imagine that the game is slightly less precarious with more players and therefore more Hobbit Cards. As for the Gandalf cards, well you need Shields for those. But then you need the Shields for other things too. And you need to try and get the other Tokens while still making it through each scenario as unscathed as possible ...
Halfway through Mordor is as far as we have ever got in 10 or so games.
Yes, it's a tricksy game, and no mistake.

Tried the "Friends & Foes" Expansion. It makes a nice change, but it mostly concerns foes (
) and I still prefer the original game. Haven't tried the Sauron expansion.

Ah, the best PC game ever devised IMHO. Terribly off-topic I know, but Civilisation IV is gorgeous ...
