The Sceptre of Fire is probaly the most challenging and interesting scenario together with Hasty Alliance witch seem to have been tone down in 0.6.2. But it is also very enjoyable when you finish it.

Difficult to choose

I agree that Hasty Alliance and Sceptre of Fire are by far the hardest. I tried several times to beat both of them, and I failed miserably. Probably did not have enough advanced units. The others mentioned were incredibly annoying, but not impossible for me.

To pass Hasty Alliance I had to go back one scenario, recruit mostly Dwarvish Fighters (and making sure I got some advanced units):

* Dwarvish Thunderers don't have 2nd level
* Dwarvish Fighters can advance to Dwarvish Steelclads which can advance to Dwarvish Lords

These things I had to learn the hard way *grin*

There are two scenarios i dislike, mountain pass and hasty alliance.

To win MP, i had to go back about 6 levels! and replay to get more advanced units. Well, 6 was my choice, but i did have to go back pretty far.

However, i dislike HA even more. Too many Troll Warriors, I only managed to win because i got lucky and the enemy recruited way less trolls than my other attempts. So HA gets my vote.

For some reason Scepter of Fire was rather easy.
