I do like the idea of constraining the normal game rules to create a different game that needs new strategies. Maybe only spawn a specific type of unit? Only specials would probably be quite interesting. But, some reasonable testing with 2-3 players should be done first, don't you think?

I have tried a friendly and a few "pass n play" games. P1 didn't have as much of an advantage as I thought they would - but that could just be down to stupid mistakes.

The special idea is a good one, but it ended up with both the bases surrounded by bombshells, and neither willing to attack. Maybe if we ban scallies?

Another idea was that you are only allowed to build one of each unit, but that was impossible to keep track of, even when playing against myself.

I'm happy to make it even smaller - 4 people?

I wish I thought about this - sound more interesting. Would you like to try a "runners only" game?
