Wouldn't underestimate those hobbits, or assume he took them not expecting to win every match. 75 models is lethal for Domination and, as I found, High Ground; and 32 shots plus 40 more stones won you almost any game of Meeting Engagement before the arrival of the SL. Gandalf was a very reliable hero for Contest (and the opposing hero would normally be shot), and in any case in the first game he knew he'd probably play weaker opposition.
Given he accompanied them with 5 SQs in his Evil force, it's fair to say he was playing to win.
I think he lost twice in those 6 years. My record against him was 1 draw, 1 minor defeat and 1 major defeat.
