Did you guys have any problems of some armies sitting back and just firing? We were thinking of adding objectives and scoring them similar to the 40K video game. You run up and put a marker on the objective. At the beginning of your turn you score points for each objective claimed.

We had a fair mix of armies I'm pleased to say, mate. Two 'horde' armies, one of which was Orks and the other Tyranids. I don't recall the exact model counts, but they were both in the low thirties I believe. Two plague marine teams, one Tau list mixed with a huge battlesuit and some fire warriors, a sternguard list (very versatile with the ammo), a necron list, a Sisters of Battle list and an IG list. Although it didn't work out well for him in the end due to bad rolls, I still believe that the IG list was probably the best one there. Again, can't remember exact numbers, but it was something like ten ratlings and eight or so rough riders.

As for sitting back and firing... I did it (with Necron Immortals), the SoB list did it, the Sternguard did it and both Plague Marine lists did it. That's just how it works out I guess. The boards are so small that you can be in range on the first turn a lot of the time. It was a great laugh and nice and brief which was necessary because of the store opening hours, but I think it would definitely be more fun with objectives of some sort.

yes for all choices barring named people, so tanks and the like

In the basics, there's nothing about excluding named characters either... you think they'd be too hard?

To be fair most Named characters would be to expensive and not worth the points, in some cases. Vehicles would make it interesting, not sure if it would be to tough though if one was included. The amount of terrain we had wasn't so bad, maybe a few pieces more would make it ideal.

Most named characters are HQ, which are not allowed in Kill Team.

Vehicles would concern me, only because it forces all teams to have answers if they turn up, plus when the answer can be relatively easily picked out ...

I'd be interested to see what sort of restrictions would have to be brought in.

I'd be really keen to use objectives, this could make for a more entertaining game.

There are quite a few named characters that aren't HQ choices. Marbo, Telion, Corbulo, Doom of Malantai, Lukas the Trickster... just off the top of my head. There's probably ten or so, maybe more, if I ransacked all the codices.
