Finished Usurpers of the Fell Axe as part of our ongoing campaign this weekend, and wanted to plug that it went well.
One major thing -- ok, maybe I'm just blind but there aren't stats for either Baron Dietbold or Nefrous... I set them up myself, but I was surprised because I missed this when I reviewed the mod for the Domesday Book.
I did a minor rearrangement on the lower depths of Ludensheim and the finale of the mod so as to make it fit with our campaign, but kept the city encounters and the keep pretty much as is. I did make Dietbold even more depraved (his wife was found in a chest in his room, having been dumped there several weeks earlier)...
Some of the earlier potential side-plots got washed away as my group almost immediately got into it with the Barony guard, prompting an earlier uprising from the city guard and a more straight-into-taking on the cabal and Dietbold line.
Lot's of fun - highly recommend.

Finished A4 this weekend
Weren't stats for the Baron given in A2?
I also had to seriously "rewrite" A4 to run it. My group put the "right" Baron back on the throne in A2. So I had to change things around to where the rightful Baron had the Axe and the town was being infiltrated by the dark forces. It went well and played out fast, but that was because by the time A4 came out the party was 9th+ level.
Still, a very fun module with excellent political intrigue elements that I was able to easily expound upon.
I didn't mind stats being written up as much as you may have simply because I had to adjust everything to challenge 9th+ level PC's.
I am sure by the time A6 is out my campaign will be finished and the PC's will have ensured Unklars banishment for all eternity and permanently broken the back of the remaining servants, including the Morgryl.

Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Thanks Robert,
My group actually just achieved (for the most part) the cusp of 6th level. I dropped A3 from the sequence... I'm using the DCC Witch Queen saga to replace and expand on... one of my principal players has just learned she's the Witch Queen's daughter.
I'm not sure what the ultimate end of the saga will be... the party has basically become the guardians/principle developers of Botkinburg, so they may ultimately retire and we start a new campaign, or I'll give them options that could take them to Aufstrag, or even start moving to other parts of the world or other worlds.
