house rules

hi, i'm searching for a way to make the battles harder without playing on very hard which is too unrealistic and can get a bit stupid some times. I read people make it harder with house rules and could someone give me some exaples of this if they use them?

Thanks

What holds you from searching this forum for the many threads about houserules?

That post is his ninth, he may not be aware of the Search function.

FYI OP there is a search function and both this part of the forum and the Gameplay and AAR section has numerous threads on various factions' houserules, enjoy them :-)

Sorry i usually do search. Was just in a post first search later kind of mood. I'll go search now.
Cheers.
