For the fight to be a challenge to a group, you need to use most of if not the whole budget. Even then, the game favors the PCs. You will really feel it if you're shaving more than 1-2 points off the total. I have found that using the +2 damage bonus for 2 battle points thing is a great way to eat up points and not have too many opponents on the map at once. Throwing just a solo at a group is going to fall flat. It's not quite as bad as 5E's action-economy problem with solos, but it's in the neighborhood. Solos alone are just too easily overwhelmed by groups. Which frustrates me to no end. I've found minions to be a pain to run. Hordes fill the same niche but are easier to use at the table. Leaders seem to have more complicated mechanics than solos. If you're going to avoid one, I'd hold off on the leaders until you're more familiar with the system. Solos mostly just have higher stats and you can spend extra fear to activate them 2-4 times in a row. I've only run a couple of playtest sessions with a group of four, so take the above with whatever size grain of salt you think is appropriate.</blockquote>
