Question re: Competitive Play and x5 and x6 Commons

Basically, know where you'll be playing, and build your collection accordingly (I sold off my 5th squads of all of these years ago, and I've never needed them since).

Yeah, a lot of tournaments I've played lately have been at 16 figure limits as well.

Yeah, I can't speak for every local scene, but it seems like at least most have followed suit since GC made the change in 2013. I really like the smaller figure limits in general.

Well, I sort of lucked out regardless because there's an individual online that has been selling 3d prints of a lot of units I am interested in. So, I was able to pick up a fourth or fifth squad of Knights, Heavies, Dwarves, etc.

All that being said, I have asked for paints and craft supplies for Father's Day. Looks like I am going to learn how to paint miniatures!

I am not able to make it to ScapeCon this year, but I am seriously hoping it goes well and gets scheduled again for next year. I *just* got into Heroscape this year, so I am behind the curve. This game really is one of a kind. There is not really an exact alternative out there on the market.
