[WEIRDWOLF]

Because my post on the 4.0 thread got off track with what the discussion at hand was, I pulled the following posts out into this seperate discussion, so some of what follows may be confusing.


Please don't take this wrong. I like all forms and weights. I just set up my team according to where I am playing but I have to say I'm confused about what we are trying to achieve. We can discuss 4.0 versus 3.2 all you want but ultimately the leagues and the tourneys are going to set whatever rule about weight they want. The only place that the MFCA could possibly come in and say anything is regarding height of a figure. Once we decide a maximum heigth for a figure from floor to top of helmet we will have essentially set a scale by which all manufatcurers current and future will hopefully abide. Also, once we set a height and a maximum base size there will be only so much weight that anybody could ever possibly add.

My biggest fear is not about how much weight is added but rather that someone will suddenly create a figure that is another millimeter or more higher than what is out there or even further, a base that is a 1/8 inch bigger. At some point we have to decide what is covered under the title, "miniature football". The weights will work them selves out on their own and the arguement will eventually fade once we clarify this.

Just like Beta vs VHS. The final decision on which one of these stayed around was not made by the manufacturer but by the customer. Weighting, will in time find its own ultimate standard as long as we take steps to define "miniature football".
