That's really cool then that even just a starter box and a couple extra purchases will let you play a full, standard sized game. I appreciate the insight, that's excellent news.<br /><br />I will therefore plan on expanding to 1000 points as my first step past the starter box. I already have the CoA Fleet Carrier which puts my total between 845 and 870 points depending on what options I choose. It should be pretty easy then to get those last 130 or so points added. Woo-hoo!<br /><br />Thank you very much, Musings of a Smurf!Papa JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443485240104662387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688468174751326435.post-48049902036762679952011-08-21T15:41:54.103-04:002011-08-21T15:41:54.103-04:00good question. For a long time you were restricted...good question. For a long time you were restricted to the contents of the starter box and a carrier and so every game was around 800pts and used the same army composition. But recently that has all changed with the sudden release of many of the nations special units and dreadnoughts.<br /><br />So the question is a good one. what is the best points limit to allow for a good selection of new and interesting units? <br /><br />Well in my experience, I think 1000pts is a good game size. The game will last about 3-4 hours and it allows you to take some but not all of the cool hard stuff. For instance, a friend of mine runs 2 KoB dreads in his 1000pt list, but has almost nothing else (bar 1 unit each of the other size classes). I, on the other hand, prefer a more mixed selection of small and medium class ships as well as the carrier in my 1000pt list. <br /><br />So my suggestion is to try and expand up to 1000pts and have a go with that. Obviously you can never have to many ships?! but 1000pts I think allows a balanced unit selection and a good game length.<br /><br />Hope that helps, and happy anniversary!Musings of a Smurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08008842948716189378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688468174751326435.post-53780288962406135702011-08-21T14:55:11.254-04:002011-08-21T14:55:11.254-04:00Ha ha, no worries about the game stuff.
