The War of the Ring screen is stretched in widescreen resolutions.

Does this screen scroll? And how often is it used?

The War of the Ring mode was not unlike the Campaign from the previous game, but with major changes that benefit gameplay. You choose one of the six races and battle throughout Middle-earth, capturing domains controlled by your enemy until you or your enemy controls the entirety of Middle-earth. You can garrison troops in territories you control, making it so that if your enemy attacks, you have soldiers there to defend. Once attacked or when you are attacking an enemy, you can choose to either simulate it, and let the computer determine the outcome, or fight it out while actually commanding your units, playing just like the normal skirmishes in the game. It should be noted that you will more than likely lose more units simulating when attacking than if you simply fought it out RTS style.

Is the gameplay actually hor +, though? The description says it just raises the camera height, which isn't the same thing as zooming out in a 3D game. The screenshots don't demonstrate hor + behavior either. Also, the WTH default shot is a bit shifted to the right.
