Multiple unique units

[dsbarrick]

Here's a question I haven't been able to find the answer to in the rulebook. . . it hasn't come up in play yet because I don't have any duplicates of unique characters.

I may soon be playing a massive Heroscape game with two of my brothers-in-law. . . all three of us have both Master Sets. Of course, any one player can use only one copy of a unique unit. However, the rule book doesn't state whether this restriction also applies to ALL players' armies combined. For example, obviously I can't have two copies of Tor Kul Na in my army, but could all three of us EACH have one copy of Tor Kul Na in our armies? The rules seem to suggest this is allowed - which would be great because I'd prefer not to have to limit building my army based on what units my brothers-in-law include in their armies. . . but logically, Tor Kul Na is a specific individual and there should be only one of him.

Has anyone got official word from Hasbro on this queston?

Each army can have the same unique as another army. You all 3 can play TKN or Krav or whatevers.

Thanks for the lightning-fast response, Rÿchean - that's what I thought.

I think this question has been answered, but no, if one army has a unique figure, their ally can't have the same unique fig.

Different players can have the SAME unique unit in their Army. This for sure happens at tournaments all the time. I have been to one team tournament andI think there were teams that would have duplicates of the same unit. (We were paired randomly each round.) I know for a fact I played on a team with Krug and Krug was also in my army.

Huh, I was sure I read somewhere that you couldn't use two unique figs in the same army somewhere on this site.

You can't have 2 in your army. Alies do not count as your army.

A related issue that may come up: Keep in mind the difference between powers that affect units you control, versus powers that affect 'all friendly units'...

I'm imagining a team-game where both my ally and I have Laglor and as many ranged vydar units as possible.
(Krav Maga Agents and/or Microcorp with 11 range... )


Thankfully, Raelin only works for units you control.

You can- However I ould suggest marking yours in some way, that way you won't get your Tor-Kul-Na confused with your brothers

Though once your combined collections are much bigger, it's fun to allow only one of each unique in all armies combined. That's what I do at my house. I have at least one of everything except TT and Wave 7, so it's pretty easy, but I didn't always do that.

One thing to keep in mind though is that you cannot mindshackle a figure/unit that is already in your army. So if you take TKN you can't mindshackle another TNK into your army (this is a recent addition to the FAQ due to the creation of Ulginesh).
