Hi there, I am interested to know what is your "average" size for an E:A game. 1k, 2k, 2.5k, 3k....20k?  In general the "mainstream" GW games seem to be around 2k for good games, and 1500 for torunament games. 2k lasts a whole afternoon while 1500 is quite faster, ending in 2 or 3 hours if you klnow your rules. Is that the case with epic? Do you ply bigger games? smaller? Thx for the input. Health and sixes, Xavi |

"In the day", we would do between 2-3000 by SM1 standards, usually. It was workable, the board was not cluttered, there was room to maneuver and we could finish it in 4-6 hours on a Sunday afternoon !

Hi! As there are so many versions, the point comparison gets difficult. I enjoy 6000 points under SM2/Netepic, although 4000 seems to be fine for getting several games in an afternoon. Primarch |

My games have levelled out at about 3000 points maximum for a few hours gaming in an evening. After I got past the learning stage of having to look at the rulebook every few minutes to double check rules, I can get 3k point battles finished in roughly two hours, more if there are beers involved. |

Our usual is for 2500 on an evening. This means we can usualy fight to a conclusion and have time for a beer and debrief after. Cheers. |

Generally nil, as I have no local opponents who play epic - but once I'm out of this MSc I'm going to try to introduce it at the club..:angry: |

Usually about the 2700 points tournament size for a standard evening skirmish but if we have a free weekend we usually go for something a bit more special like really big games or mini campaigns. A 10.000 pointer is a lot of fun and looks great on the table but there's not much room for tactical manouvering so it usually ends up in quite a slaughter. For the occational Netepic game 5-6000 is pretty standard. It takes the better part of the evening and a bit into the night. Cheers!

Seems that an "average" games isdoubl points over those of a BFG, WHFB or WH40k games: 3000-4000 points over the 1500-2000 that you usually see in those other games. Sounds fine to me More or less, how many squadrons is that? Do you include titans or superheavy tanks in such games?In brief I might bother you with an IG list to see how it goes  Regards, Xavi |

In SM1 only 25% of your force level could be used on Titans. So 3000+ points if we use Titans. |

We used to use 3,000 to 6,000 points in the old days and occasionally a larger game. Now I play E-A so we use their recommended numbers. Shabbat Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

You made me think about one of our playtest nights where we each played 1500 points on a 2' x 2' area. I played three games that night. dafrca |

Hi! It isnt "epic" unless you play 8000 points plus....  Which begs another question.... Whats the largest size game people hae started and completed? 40k points per side in my case.... ...my dream is a 100k per side battle. It would be awesome! Primarch |
