Do you use multiple common squads?

Heck, half the forum's dead. If you want to chat about it, by all means, I say.

I generally try to get at least two of each of the common squads that I own, however in the case of figures that I really like such as the deathchasers (which I own 9 squads of) I try to collect a few more.

I really don't think it's as dead as some people think. Aside from the official Marvel section everything has been posted in today.

Well I'm probably not one to comment, actually. I rarely poke my head up from the C3G section anymore. I do know that activity in the top few forums isn't what it used to be, though.

Well with no more real HS news or new official HS figures one can't be surprised.

On topic, I used to not get multiples unless I really liked them as I didn't have as much money to blow, but now I'll be lucky to ever even complete my collections, much less fill out getting more commons I never got before thanks to prices and obscurity. Like I'd love to have one more set of Drones(to have 3) or a second set of Knights of Weston, but hell if I'll spend 30+ dollars on a single booster.

Saw that the Deathreavers and Omnicrons/Vipers are still around the $10 on Amazon, I'll probubly get one or two of those. I need to start improving my Common collection, if only just in case this game isn't renewed for awhile.

[IAmBatman]

Uh ... the game's done being made, dude. I'm not sure what this talk of renewal is about, but it's wishful thinking at best, no offense.

This thread isn't locked, so it isn't dead.

We have a free forum here that is designed for people who love this game and site to comment in a judge free environment. You are definitely free to post here.


On a side note, no member on here should be discouraging others from posting in this community, especially when their post is harmless and innocent - unless of course you want the site to be forgotten about and no new membership growth.....

Yeah, I usually don't look up either. Every once in a while I will though, just to see if there is any buzz worth checking out - especially in the custom terrain and figures threads.

There's really no reason to use single common squads (unless you're just rounding out your points). Most of them are too weak to influence the battle, and often you miss out on possible synergies. I have a couple single squads, but I almost never use them.
Now to the sidebar conversation: I've been reading and posting since HeroscapeHQ and .net. The conversation has evolved since then. The game is out of production, so there can't be the sense of anticipation that there was then. We also have a plethora of official characters to choose from and drafting has developed into a science.
Unfortunately, I think there have been developments too that shut conversation down. Concern about playtesting customs and creating projects I think has cooled custom posting. Tournament play advice is less than interesting to those who don't play tournaments. Since the character of posting interests have changed, I don't post as much as I used to.
(Not intended as a rant or a complaint, just the view from where I sit.)

[IAmBatman]

Custom posting seems hotter than ever to me ... but maybe that's just in the C3G area.

[1Mmirg]

I think customs are hot. With Auggie's, SoV, C3V and the rash of Rackham and other figures people have been picking up--it seems like the Gallery is constantly full of new, innovative units. Lots of great customs.

Do agree that things have cooled over all. But there is still a lot of life, imo.
