Let me fix that for you: It's the Common Squads that will be the real test of Renegade's Intelligence, Packaging speaking.

Failure to properly proportion common to unique packs is one of the biggest things that hurt HeroScape sales the first time around. If Renegade mixes them together in a box, or makes you buy large redundant amounts of terrain to get multiple commons, it will impact sales greatly. I was willing to buy a second $40 SotM for some more stingers, I won't be buying second anything at these prices, unless it is a pack of only common units.

I also liked the orignal theme way better than AoA, which I don't like very much. We haven't seen Renegade develop any of their own units yet, and when they do I'm hoping it not be anymore AoA or amalgam units. I would like to see Historic, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi, but not blended together.

Based on some things said in the RGS Discord we know they are aware of the old Unique/Common ratio issues of the past. I'll go a step further and say I hope that if they put commons together in a pack, I would want to see them be similar in Points... Snipers & Minions or Vipers & Drones type pairings, not the Snipers & Vipers or Drones & Minions type pairings that we got long ago.

I would hope for that too. Presumably the mismatched way sold more booster packs by kinda making us buy more of the expensive squads than we really wanted, so Renegade may face the dilemma of irritating their customers or moving less product. Fun times.

Of course, if I could go back in time right now and buy "too many" Snipers and Minions at 10 bucks a booster, well then....
