George, I have no personal issues with you. I consider you a friend in this hobby. However; I do have to ask. Who said that bases have to weigh 1.3 grams or less? Who said figures have to max at 2.0 or 2.1? When and where was this ever discussed? You keep refering to the Tudor figures and bases, which is fine. But there are other figures out there that have come and gone and some that are still here. What about them? Why are they being excluded? When these came out, where was the written rule that they should be such and such a weight? I don't recall anyone at anytime ever having a vote to say 2.0 is the maximum weight for a figure and 1.3 shall be the maximm weight for a base and nobody shall be allowed to add weight to them. Exactly who made these rules???????????????

I've always played with 3.3 or less teams. I have absolutely no problem with how they perform. Every team I have is at this weight. BUT, and that's a big but, I have no problem with making a change. Times have changed since the 60's. The game, or should I say the game play has changed since then. The boards have changed since them. Maybe it's time we make a new weight limit, one that is not constricted to figures and bases that were made 40 years ago.

That is what this vote was meant to be. Do we want a new limit of 4.0, something that we can set in writing so that all manufacturers today and tomorrow can adhere to, or do we want to keep the old limit, based on figures and bases from when the game was in its heyday?

I think we need something set in stone, one way or the other, so when we start promoting this wonderful hobby of ours, we don't look like a bunch of schmucks with no rhyme or reason as to how to play the game.
