I was just wondering how long your guys games take you to play. I'm about to play my first 3rd edition game over break, finally! Just wondering how long say a 1500 or 2000 pt game or so would take to play. Thanks
Now thats a good question. Of course their is the obvious thing to consider such as number of turns.
I mean for me and my mates it usually takes the better part of a day to play about a 3000 point game so around seven hours. However this is due to numerous tea/cigarette/TV/Food/alcohol breaks so as you can guess we take our sweet time. No rush.
As for your question i'm not sure as we very rarely simply play the game straight with no interruptions.
At a pinch for a 1500 point game maybe 2 hours. Still thats one hell of an estimate.
The group I play with has been playing together for a couple of years now - I'm the newcomer, with around eleven months and a bit of experience now. We have a fair idea of how the rules go, and have formed our own house-rules to cover some situations when there's a problem... but nevertheless the fastest I can recall a game of 1500 pts going was about 80-90 minutes, and that was going all-out.
We even kept from raiding the chocolate Tiny Teddies until it wasn't our turn.
I've no idea, usually a couple of hours (3-4 or so) for 2000 points games. A lot of time goes into the deployment and the movement phases of my opponent, who plays IG and can take forever to decide where he's gonna put down that infantry squad...
damn those marine players. they ahve to move 4 rhinos and the the occaisonal LR's. i renenber those daysm when i coudl take anp while my friend was in the movement phase wiht his orks.
me and my buds usually take about a good 6 hours to play. thats because each of us (about 6) ahve 1500 points on the board
Most of our 1500 pts games take about 90 minutes. Two fast armies however, played by two skilled players (yes, us ) can take down to 45 minutes. If facing a 'slow' player that needs to check rules etc... i'll say 3 hours.
I try to keep my games within the 2-hour time limited used during rogue traitor, and grand turny games. Normally when i am playing at my house we take 3 hours to play an 1850 game.

vs power gamers, 2 hours tops. One of us is always past the breaking point by turn 4.
vs friends, 4-6 hours.
