If the players represent regional commanders for their own "Race" and they have a home outpost base but are getting reinforcements from their own backers then you could introduce other dimensions into the reinforcement pool. maybe a sucessful commander gets less reinforcements because High Command don't think they need them or don't want a too popular commander having direct control of too much of the warmachine. On the other hand a player that has been defeated heavly and has their home base in danger of falling may get extra reinforcements to represent High Commands concern about losing their presence in the area.
