The reason I am suggesting this topic is I would like Leon & the boys to see which armies people do own and we would be devastated if they are not in the new ed. 

Basically, what armies do you currently own and game with at 1000pts or more?

I have
Belgians
1944+ Germans for West & East Europe
Japanese
Chinese (2nd Sino War 1937-41 era)
Australian Desert
Australian Pacific
Currently working on Africa Korp

Not sure about points (I don't use points to construct forces, but I still like the Army lists as reference material), but I play with (or want to, some of these have actually never seen the table  :( ):

USA
USA Para
USMC (mid/late war)
Brit Early War
Brit Late War
Brit Para
Brit North Africa
German Early War
German Late War
German Para
German North Africa
Soviet Early War (also used them as Poles for Early War)
Soviet Late War
French Early War
Japanese (entire war)

I've got quite a bit of stuff for CWC as well, but one thing at a time ;)

V/R,

In various scales I can do

Germans 1936-45
Russians 1939-45
Finns 1939-40
British 1940 and 44-45
USMC 1942-45

Considering

French 1940
Eastern Front Axis allied nation - Hungarian or Slovakian probably
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

Let's see...

In 6mm
Early war poles
Early-mid-late Hungarians
Early-mid-late Germans that can be slotted in or out for East or west front
Desert Italians
Desert Brits
NWE Brits (also work for Italy)
Various odds & sods I never put together in full!

In 10mm
Extensive AVBCW armies, which include useful WW2 & Spanish Civil stuff like -
Fall of France British
Fall of France German
Fall of France France
Non-Desert Italians - Russia, France, Balkans, SCW. With the couple of Semoventes I also have they aren't too rubbish and could do Sicily if not Tunisia...
Some of the bonus periods there require a bit of squinted past flags & insignia and produce oddly structured forces!

In 15mm
Soviet Early-mid-late Desant  with ludicrous heavy tank or assault gun support.
Hungarians
Late war Americans
Mid to late war Germans

In 20mm (but they do t come out for BKC often if at all really)
Africa Korps
SCW technically Fascist Regular army but with some flag swaps and squinting they'll cover Republican regulars too.

No idea how many points, but my usual is 1:1 at company strength. So for 1944 Germans I have 1 company PzGren (in SdKfz251 & trucks), plus a mixed Panther/PzIV squadron, with support (artillery, AA, engineers, AT, and for this force a troop of Tigers.)

France, 1940
British armoured (A9, 10, 13) + tank (Matilda I & II) squadron
French DCR (s35)
German Pz (PzI - Pz 4, Pz35)
German infantry
German Airborne (though these need redoing, thanks to some new releases!)

Russia 1941
Russia T35/T28, which I can swap with KVI/II's to annoy the Germans.  
German elements to upgrade my German 1940 to 1941 (later Pz III/IV)

Med 1942
Italian (M13/40, Semovante)
British (Valentine & Crusader)

1944
American (pretty ubiquitous - Shermans and half tracks.)
German PzGren 1944 (PzIV and Panther)
British (Sherman and Churchill)
Russian (T34)
British Airborne
US Airborne

As you'll see I tend to have a core of units, then play around with the fringes to cover most periods. If I wanted Western desert I could use the Matilda IIs and the Crusader, for example.

I am, I will admit a total WWIIophile. Somewhere at the back of my mind is a US marines / Japanese Naval Forces. I've been watching too many YouTube videos of island hopping.

I don't use the points system to construct armies.  My games are usually company sized with a base equal to a half-section or one vehicle/gun. 
My armies are largely Pendraken but not restricted to them by any means.  I have SCW, German Low Countries, German Crete, British Crete and Dutch 1940 (using Boer War figures and conversions, mainly from WW1).  I have plans to do Belgians 1940 but as Pendraken doesn't do them......
BKCII is modified to reflect my preconceptions.  I never thought the Command Phase very realistic as it seems, to me, to formalise what was actually a fairly chaotic activity.  My ranges are also much longer and reflect the 1:1 ratio I use.

For BKC
Brits NW Europe 39-45
Brits N Africa 40-43
Brit Paras NW Europe 42-45
Germans NW Europe & Russia 39-45
Germans N Africa 41-43
Italians 40-43

Nothing in 10mm and no plans to change that. I'm also probably unlikely to add to any of my WW2 collection anytime soon
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Like others I don't use a Points system per se but use actual OOB's scaled down to 1:5 or near enough -in other words even if there are less five of something I will still get one of them.

British Armoured Division  44+
German Tank Division (representing SS Das Reich) 44+
Generic Japanese all war division.
British Western Desert force.
Fledgeling USMC bits and pieces.
