I usually play 2k with my friends. But recently we've switched from 2k to Border Patrols; you can play like 5 to 6 games on one day, it requires more tactics (one mistake.. and you are dead usualy) and turns don't take so long.

I usually play 2000, but I can just about stretch to 4000 if (and only if) I include a normal grey seer, one on a bell and thanquol as well. As you can no doubt guess, I don't play any 4000pts games... :P

I think that 2000 is a good size for well balenced forces and a good game length. Sometimes I play larger battles with multiple people or smaller battles for a change or when I don't have as much time.

I tend to play 2000, because it is large enough to field every type in the army (ie lords rare...etc) but it is not very time consuming.

I'd really like to play a 1,999 point battle. 1,999 points of guys but NO lords. So it's a really filled out army lead by weak heros. It's a great exercise in tactics.

4000 total (2k per side) or 4000 per side?
if its 4000 per side and it only takes 3 hours, you guys play pretty fast. a 4k point game would take my club at least four hours, maybe 5

500 points.

i like quick games where units move around a lot, plus it fits in with my army theme of a specialist assassin squad.
