So after nearly a year, I've finally managed to convince half my gaming group to give 4th ed a try. I am going to be running them through the Scales of War Adventure Path. I was just wondering if those who've already begun running it had any advice. As for my game details. There are 3 players, 2 strikers and a defender we may get a 4th before the start of our first game session on Tuesday. I am restricting things to the PHB only as I only own the core 3 books. I've already adjusted the wealth and encounters to suit 3 players and I gotta say I LOVE how easy and quick it was to make adjustments to the adventure.
Haven't run SoW, however, I would be sure the fourth player fits the Leader role (Cleric or Warlord). You can get away with not having a Controller, but Leaders are essential.
I'm currently running the AP, we are about to finish The Temple Between, and it definitely gets better as you go. A great resource for the AP is this wiki, one that I wish I had seen (and been out) before I started. The wiki does a good job of letting you tie the adventures togather better.
I would definitely have somebody either play a leader (or have someone play an npc leader in addition to their character). Also, there are a few solo encounters you'll need to be careful of running against a party with less than 5.
Good Gaming

Thanks for the link to that wiki! That will help out loads, I had read before that the adventures weren't tied together too well.
