Yeah, I do think being able to plug in the heroes by their entrance is rather abusive :cry: This may be more a product of poor map design than anything else, a small 2 square connector piece could remedy this in future campaign maps.
Think about this too: If the SD does survive 4 attacks (which I think is entirely likely). Imagine getting Fire Breath'd right after you didn't move a single square, potentially lost 4 actions, and the overlord is off one step closer to his objective. :D
An example of this is The Desectrated Tomb/The DawnBlade. Both first encounters let you place the open group right next to the heroes who only have 3 space possibilites to move forward, and you can chose Shadow Dragons. There are other examples.
By the way, I've never seen in the rules where it explicitly says if the Overlord or the Heroes have to place their figures first? I assume the Overlord has to place his monster groups first, before the heroes organize on the Entrance (or starting location). Is this true? Where is it referenced?
