newsun Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Curious what level most people are playing at these days and why. I have played games ranging from whatever a box can field all the way up to a recent brawl @ 50ss. I like them all though I think 30-35ss is the min I would like to play as you finally start getting some toys on the table. I have also noticed that the bigger the games, the longer they take, though, we are still learning a lot of the rules in our group still.

Khail Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Most of the folks in the area are still ramping up from Box set levels. I'm slowly pushing for making 35-40 the standard though. Gotta prep for the Templecon 40SS tourney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perplexiti Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 We've mostly been playing 25ss, although I've managed to convince one of my mates to go from 25 to 30 to 35ss last night. Was good to be able to take a couple of the heavier hitters, but it did take longer, although this is with a bit of disscussion and checking of rules. So as we get more experienced it shouldn't take as long. I can see myself liking 35ss, you've just got a bit more room in the list to play around with things.

Wulfen Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Yeah, our group sticks around 30-35 SS games. I think 35 is just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Yeah I think with experienced people 35 points is the best spot. For Tourneys I still am hovering around 30 just because its still a relatively new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEiRD sKeTCH Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I personally like 30. It's more than the box and you aren't bringing everything to the table. I like challenging myself with less options on the table. I never clamed to be normal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Peon Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I like the possibilities offered by 30-35. You have the options to get some good synergies but you still have to make the hard choices and leave things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khail Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I personally like 30. It's more than the box and you aren't bringing everything to the table. I like challenging myself with less options on the table. I never clamed to be normal... I can definitely see that. Much the same reason I like WM at 500 (err 35) points - it's a much "purer" game. When you don't have to make difficult choices on listbuilding, it kinda becomes a non-factor. Not that I think listbuilding should be the be-all end-all by any means, but I do think that the guy that spends time tweaking and refining his list to make everything click at the lowest points value possible should be rewarded for it. Challenging yourself to "do more with less" is definitely one of the things that makes people into better players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricottma Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 32 pts is the perfect number....1 zorida box + papa loco... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mriverakc Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I have been playing only 25s because I only have 2 boxed sets. However, I am building up so that I can play 30-35s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yeah I think with experienced people 35 points is the best spot. For Tourneys I still am hovering around 30 just because its still a relatively new game. Since the game is new, this will probably be a trend with most players for a while. I personally like 30. It's more than the box and you aren't bringing everything to the table. I like challenging myself with less options on the table. I never clamed to be normal... I completely agree with your line of thinking on this. 1000 points was always my favorite value for 40k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightgaunt98c Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 My friends and I only have starter boxes, so that is our size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 32 pts is the perfect number....1 zorida box + papa loco... Yeah but at 35 points you get Zoriada box + Papa Loco + 3 Soul Stones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I never clamed to be normal... Don't worry no one who's ever met you would make that assumption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omadon Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 35SS is the flat standard at my shop. Feels like the perfect sized game imo. /nod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucemanning Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I think 30ss is about right, 25 seem a little light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
