Troop Variety

Source Battlecry! pg. 165
A skirmish encounter is large enough that some variety between troops is essential for keeping the encounter interesting. Try to include mostly melee-focused troops with a few ranged or spellcasting ones. You can include multiples of the same troop, and often should, just like how you might use multiples of the same individual monster. This lets the players learn how best to battle those specific enemies.
