"Resource" match! Something new.

[Krafted]

Me and a friend of mine have been playing Heroscape since the release of the game. Since then we had built quite the collection and have played hours upon hours and have had games lasting days. Mostly due to the large amount of character pieces in the game and our unwillingness to leave a single one out of each game.
After long we decided the games were taking way to long and we just got tired of the game. Until one day we thought of a way to make the game more interesting! The idea added more strategy, and now varied the time it took to play all the while still virtually using every character piece in the game, which is important to us.
I will share with you now the idea of the game we call a "Resource" match. Its important to note that we have only played this way a hand full of times and have tweeked the rules accordingly every so often due to obvious trial and error in creation and thus its still a work in progress. We never have time to play as much anymore, so any tips or suggestions you find that would better this game variation would greatly appreciated!

Our new variation of the game has only been played as elimination aswell as capturing the opposing teams flag. But by all means try new things.

Ok, you start with lets say 500 points (or what ever is reasonable to keep a small but effective group) and you pick your squad as normal and set starting points.
Ok now the interesting part. You will need to create markers and place them in focal points or strategic points of the map or just cover wide areas. These markers we call resource points. These points and four spaces away from these points yeild resource points for any teams unit who is standing inside the area and makes a kill on an enemy unit. Squad unit kills are 15 points and hero kills are 20 points. Any kills made on a unit inside of a resource area from an outside attacker not within a resource area is 10 points no matter what type of unit. Successful attacks made on a unit inside of a resource area made from another resource area yeild normal resulting points, 15 per squad unit and 20 for a hero. Any conflicts resolved outside of resource areas are always worth 0 points.
These resource points that you obtain throughout the game are used to recruit more units as you play the match. You can pick any unit as you see fit, to help your ever changing strategy so long as you have the resource points to purchase that card.

Remember if you try this variation of the game, that we have not perfected it by any means, but have had fun and found new interest when we tried it. So try different things. Make resource areas larger or smaller. Make resources kills worth more or less. Make differing resource area amounts. Add suggestions. And have fun!
