The only thing I have to say about that is that my appetite for lower point totals increases proportionally with the number of armies I'm allowed to bring. (Well, and okay, one more thing: what counts as "standard"?)

And I think most people regard the standard as 400-600 points, 24 hex start zone kill 'em all
I'd say 450-550 would be the standard range. You really don't see alot of 400 point tournaments anymore, and 600 is fairly uncommon. Though I know many/most people would say 400-600.

The more I think about it,the more I like the idea of a lower point total. Lower point totals usually result in smaller armies, and fewer games going to time, which is always good.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.
