I wanted to make something other than a miniatures style game as we already
have Brikwars, Lego Wars, Minifig death, Mechatron etc. etc.

I think you could do this even in an abstract game. You just need to find an
abstract way of portraying their particular characteristics

If it were to be a minitures type game this would be the way to keep it
portable.

Depends how abstract you make it. Within the bounds of the game as it
stands, you could have certain templates for resource creators. E.g. a 1x2
block with hole with a control stick and 2 cones on top could be a weapon
generator. Owning one of these would increase your Regeneration by 1, but
could only regenerate weapons.
These creators could be the target of sorties instead of the factory itself.
