We usually play 1500pts as that just seemed the 'normal' things to do but we're looking at making 2000pts the regular thing (once I get some things built painted!). These games last a couple of hours, maybe 3?, but we do an awful lot of chatting.
However myself and my regular opponent both have enough ships to each fill a whole IN sector fleet (6 Battleships, 6 Batttlecruisers/GC, 12 Cruisers/Light Cruisers and escorts.). With about 45 escorts in my fleet it works out at 7500pts and I'll chuck in my 2500pt Marine fleet to round it off to 10,000pts.
It will probably take a whole weekend to play but to hell with it. A 20,000pt game needs to be done
