DavicusPrime Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I've only been able to play 3 games using the new rules and all three games were played at 50ss. The battle reports I've seen seemed to be more often in the 35ss to 40ss range. I guess I'm just wondering what size games are being played and what folks feelings are on what size games they prefer?

Joel Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 50ss for most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Between 40 and 50 is is norm. I Tend to like 41 because that is the minimum that is master led only and it forces some very difficult choices on the players.

osoi Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yeah I think 45 is a nice spot to be playing at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunce002917 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 our group plays at 50 ss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 We play at 50 for casual games. 45 if we want to have to make a tough choice. We're playing at 45 for our league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Funnily enough, the event I'm running on Sunday is 45ss - first event in the UK to try that I think. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valcurdra Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 The designers notes in the rule book state that the game is designed to be most balanced at 50ss so we have been sticking with that so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 45-50ss is what we have been using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavicusPrime Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Got to play a couple more games last weekend, one at 50ss (Ramos vs. Rasputina) and 35ss (Ophelia vs. Lilith). I liked the 50ss game more than the 35ss, but the 35ss was meant to introduce my usual opponent's girlfriend to the game and neither of us have all that many models for the chosen factions/masters. Even with only 35 stones, the game still took us a couple hours to play and still drove out some fun tactical interplay. I'm not all the certain how a 25 stone game would work, but based on how the 35 worked out, I could see playing anywhere from 35 to 50 and be perfectly happy with the results. -DavicusPrime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4-lom Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'd like to play bigger games, but right now I'm trying to re-build the meta at my flgs. So right now we're playing 26 to 35ss. We've got a few newb's & some returning mk1 players, once we get used to M2ed we'll start moving up in points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreaker187 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 On a side note VegasCon (I forget the name) is a 40 pt tourney and TempleCon is 41 or 42. I feel that 50 gives crews way too many options and lets them bring is dumb combos. 40-45 is the best. We've been leaning heavy on 40 at my LGS in preparation for Vegas.

Stoupe Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 We've been doing 30 as we're building the community here from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I feel that 50 gives crews way too many options and lets them bring is dumb combos While I do agree that 50 lets you bring all the toys and less forces some hard choices, it's hardly 'dumb combos'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagisman Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 35-45 Though its mostly hovering around 35 due to time constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldManMyke Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nearly always 50. Events here in the UK seem to go down to 40 if there are possible time contraints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I prefer 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meliondor Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 The answer is always 42. If someone ask "how much points do you want to play", of course the answer is "42". For every game. In Malifaux this even works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makrar Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 50 We may go down to 45 after the beta finishes but as the game is designed for 50 we figure thats what we should play at (time permitting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriltic Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 50... I've found playing smaller games tend to give summoners even more power than they have at 50 and skews the results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancor709 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 We tend to play between 41-50 my personal favorite level is 50 but anything in 41-50 is a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I generally play at two values: 50ss for a standard game, or a "Fast" Game (similar to the "Hardcore" from Malifools: 20ss, Henchmen led, no more than 4 models, always Turf War, always Close Deployment) if we don't have a lot of time.
