People probably figure that 300-point games would take too long and would be too big for any of the legal maps (at least that's what I think).

I dont disagree with you guys but what does it being legal have to do with it? If it's a fun match why not? Put in a house rule stating all minis must be at least 20 points and duke it out. If you are talking of a tourney of some sorts that may be different...60 10 point figures would drag a game out for sure LOL

It isn't so much the game taking too long, but that is definately a possibility in a competitive enviroment. The main issue is that the game was designed for 100 pts for the first 3 sets, and then with 200 in mind. The game begins to break down when you go over 200. When you have to make certain limitations on what figs or how many figs you can use, then that is an indication that the game doesn't really work at that format.

Most 300 games are fun. Most have not powergamed at that level with optimized squads. Seriously, commanders like Grievious DAC, Rieekan/Wedge and the Twi'lek Vigo, GOWK, Flobi, they just go way beyond what you see at 200. And you may think that Sith/OR/Vong/Mando get better at that format, but they really don't. The strong only get stronger.

We've played quite a few 300-500 point matches, however, when we do this, we use a "modified" rule set that is much more comparable to warhammer then actual SWM when creating squads. Much more "squad" based with large armys of troopers and droids with a few unique units and restrictions on certain CE's (our last match my cousin played a sep army with 40 battledroids, broken into 5 "squads", each squad supported by a droid commander, two Super Battle Droids, and a Destroyer droid with Grevious at the helm. It was very impressive when he had it all set up.). We don't use any of the meta pace control pieces or any Mas pieces or any pieces whose sole purpose are to create a meta. (heck, we don't even use these in our small games) We also use a much larger wet-erase map for these games, and each side draws their own half. Usually played in teams but have done just one on one. Its a much different game than what is played "competitively" but extremely fun. OF course, when we play its usually Monday night so we're either watching football or wrestling and consuming adult beverages. that always makes it fun!

A simple activation cap of 15 or so should suffice, I would think.

Darth Vader, Dark Jedi is an obvious example of things that could go wrong in squads over 200pts, and why there would be a need for either banning figures or making house rules to stop things getting silly.

Soresu Style Mastery and Override broke the game, and thus the fixes. And they each affect a different aspect of something that doesn't work in the game. You have to make so many changes, that it isn't the same game. It is a special format like Dynamic Duo and Tile Wars. To say otherwise is silly.

Isn't changing the game what keeps it fresh? Won't the release of the eagrly awiated V-Set make it no longer the same game?

Don't get me wrong, I plan to buy a "good" set of cards and am excited by more to come.

Make 300 pts a special format, see what happens.

I like the 300 pt game. I also like the idea of a cap like 15 activations. If I remember right, There was a huge concern going from 150 to 200 . the concern was the time factor. That said, I'm sure a lot of players would abuse the Dadona, Reikan combo. The question is, Does a 300 pt format make teams like this unbeatable. I'm not sure. The intent is good but I'm just not sure.

I think there would be a decent amount of people pushing for a 300 point game, and honestly it really couldn't hurt to have the format legalized....if people would rather play 200 or 150 then that's cool, but the more format options never hurt.
