To really tinker with the game's mechanics, I think you need two or perhaps three sets. It's playable with one set, but I bet you'll want more than one set pretty quickly.
If we hit all of the posted stretch goals, you should be able to play many variations of the Mark V scenario (including a 4-HWTZ defense). Are there niche options such as all HVY that won't be covered? - sure. But I think if we can get this to 8 GEV - 8 HVY - 6 MSL - 4 HWTZ in the base set, that will leave a lot of room for defense options.

But yes, two sets means more choices!
