House Rules for a Smaller Collection

Has anyone with smaller heroscape collection changed the rules in order to have a better playing experience?

For example I have a fair amount of squads and heroes to choose from, but I only have 1 unit of any given common squad. The games are still fun, but of course they play out differently then a regular game. I've starting to experiment with the rules to get the best out of what I have and was wondering if anyone else has done the same.

Re: House Rules for a Smaller Collection

I'd be tempted to drop the costs of a few of the commons in that case. They're built around being able to take multiples, and without the added numbers/flexibility/versatility, they might suffer a bit otherwise. There are exceptions (Sentinels and Minions work fine as either Common or Unique, IMO), but generally, that's what I'd advise.

Proxy your figures so you can have multiples.

I use minis from other board games I own. They're not painted, but get a solid game and have bonus decent looking proxies.

Roborally minis=deathreavers/replusors
Ghost stories minis=shades of bleakewoods and monks
Nexus ops=ants/spiders and wyrmlings
Etc.

Re: House Rules for a Smaller Collection

Drafting is your friend. 1x commons actually gain a little more traction when they can effectively counter an enemy.

Re: House Rules for a Smaller Collection

@Meerca , try the Heroscape skirmish assault variant in my pdf. It will get them all into the battle and you'll have fun playing the single common squad units. Have fun.

For single squads of each you wont need the unit tracker.

Check out my ebay where you can find my custom dice trays and dicetowers:
