I've thought about this a lot the last few days and can see good reasoning from both sides of the fence. It has been a great discussion and very level headed. I have actually changed some of my thinking on this since the start of the discussion. Seeing the vote to this point also has played into my thoughts. Maybe the 3.3 guys are not voting, but if this was a presidential election they would of announced it as a landslide win by now, for President 4.0-bama.

4.0 is more inclusive, allows for greater flexibility in style, however, if the MFCA is to adopt this as the "official" standard (again as Al said, you can still have 3. whatever and still be part of the big picture) then along with this needs to be an overall height maximum. Essentially a definition of what scale and size is acceptable to go with the 4.0. Chris Fields works in this field and has clearly laid out how miniatures are defined and I believe he said that they are measured from eye to foot which puts our figures in the 28 mm scale category.

Now if we adopt 4.0, does that change the skills competitions? Currently we have: up to 3.3 and 3.4 and over. Do we then go to: up to 4.0 and 4.1 and over? As far as rules for the future MFCA rule set, I think 4.0 is the way to go and the only way to go. When I vote it will be for that weight.

To every one against 4.0 as a standard IT DOESN'T CHANGE anything in your current league. You still can do whatever you want and everybody will.

What adopting 4.0 does and says to anyone new entering the hobby is:
4.0 is the accepted national MFCA allowable weight for figure and base combinations. Leagues in your area may run under different maximum weights and you should check with the league you intend to play in before investing in building your team. Please note that the game can be played at many different weight levels from 3.3 to as much as 20 or more grams. 4.0 , however is the standard for national and international play.

Does that kind of sum it up?
