Agreed, go with the new rules. The only "old" rule that I may still use occasionally is the victory, and only because the new victory can extend the game an extra hour or so (depending on the number of players).As Mark says, in the first edition, Heroes could not support battles at all (although a few hero and reward powers did grant certain abilities before a combat in their area, but those were exceptions). While I think the original rules worked fine, even with the heroes, the new rules do help make the Heroes integrate with the game in a more visible way (and makes long-distance quests more viable in bigger maps).
