As I said earlier, it's not a problem. You currently really need at
least 3 or
4 of every die anyway. I've seen cases of squads rolling 3 D8s (D8
support
weapon, 4 guys with firepower 2, Regular quality) and the opponent
rolling a
D8 for range band. I bought even more dice because I find in convention
games
that the dice tend to gravitate to one side of the table or the other. I
like
having a fair number of dice around so no one has to reach too far. 

Five of one type is no problem here.
