Has anyone tried the campaign with two players and the rebel player controlling more than two heroes? Too much for one player to manage?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I think it all depends on how much experience the Rebel player has with miniatures games, strategy games, and/or RPGs. If they're relatively new to this, then I'd recommend starting with just 2 heroes. But if it's someone with a good deal of experience with this kind of game, then I don't see why 4 heroes would be too much. I know that if I was the only Rebel player, I'd definitely want to play 4 heroes at once.

It's not too hard for a player to control two characters, although the people I play with have all played a lot of Descent!

I assume the imperial player will have scaled down choices of troop deployments to match the reduced hero count?

No, the rebel heroes get scaled up.

Ah right, thanks.

playing 4 characters should be real easy for anyone whose played a skirmish minis game
