While I enjoy 150 and 200-point matches for the variety of squads/combos possible, I voted for 100.

In 100, it's almost impossible to stretch for time. I've said it before, I'm a kill 'em all type player. I ran into far too many squads/players in 150 & 200 at GenCon where dragging out the time was the main point of the game. There was very little engagement with too much hiding in rooms/corners/having only reinforcement Ugnaughts to pop. To quote Han, "I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneakin' around."

150.

I used to prefer 100, but that has become too much of a crapshoot for my tastes over time.

200 is too slow. (I play most of my games on VASSAL however, so that should be taken into account but conceptually 200 should just be slower than 150 and too high a percentage of people already play too slow for my tastes at 150.)

I think all three levels have their merits - they are almost completely different games. That's what has helped make this game thrive for so long with no end in sight (at least for a year or so). I chose 150 for casual games that I usually play.

100 just goes too fast and limits certain characters. You really can't develop the multiple CEs for so few points either.

200 just starts to get a little harder to track and a bit of strategy gets lost. (I forgot I wanted to do this or that - my commander is too far away since I thought it was the other one). I like to play all the figures, so often forget exactly what some of them do. 200 is better if you want huges as they tend to suck up the points otherwise.

150 just seems to fit well in my style and with those I see most often for gaming.

i voted 200

most options in that format. Figs you'd never see at 150 get played.

but i like 150 equally as well its just, well more choice really.

100 is ok for a quick game.

I like the 200 but I also like to use Sith and that is kind of hard at 150 and 100

I would have to go with 100 points. You can play almost anything at 100 without getting your rear end handed to you on a plate.

I must say 150 is the best. So many choices so many flavours yet not impossibly hard to win at.

=<200 depends on what speed game you're looking for, but usually not more than 200

I voted for 150, but I like all three. They each bring something different to the game, and all are exciting because of it.

I like 150 for the maps, but 200 for the squad building possibilities.

While I think 150 offers more interesting choices, the maps for 200 are just plain better. One thing I like about 150 is that big point figures are a liability, but in 200 you have the room for at least one 60+ figure. The fodder matters a lot more in 150.

What I find interesting between 150 and 200 is that a lot of times you end up with a comparable number of activations. It just seems that in the 200 format you get more powerful figures.
