I was thinking of a "Last man standing" kinda thing. Basically, just try to
take out all vehicles/troops, and whoever has the most points at the end wins.
Points would be equal to the CPs of the enemy units destroyed. I've been
thinking about allowing teams/alliances, too, so the person who brings two
hundred troops won't have an overwhelming advantage.

What if someone fields their entire force at the beginning? Should there be a
wait time before they can field the same units again, or can they not field
them again at all?

This would definitely make the scoring fairer. A must if there is no limit to
the amount someone is able to field.

Basing this on the troop's CP would be better, as a trooper with a deathgun is
more of a challenge than one with a pistol.

This has possibilities... :)

Indestructible might not be a good thing... A smart player could have some
troops hole up in a bunker and make them nigh invincible. Weapon choice would
play a big part here. On the other hand, major bonus points could be
awarded...
