I have been planning my 28mm armies for a 6ftx4ft table (all I can fit in the house) I am claw to finishing m basic French force but recent threads have made me wonder if it's feasable in 28mm. My base wish is 50mm so my table may be a bit narrow.
Anyone got any experiance of a smaller table ? Amy ideas ? Or should I sell up and down scale ?
Cheers
Simon
We have had a few games in 28mm, but with BW 40mm,(1.5") and it gave good looking board with 1 support choice each. I dont think we could take 2 support though it would be too overcrowded and take too long. 50mm is going to make it tougher though, much bigger movement, firing and command ranges...
Obviously you have seen the thread i posted on our first game and the "chastisement" i took for attempting a non-standard game w/ 28mm figs @ 2" BW (very close to 50mm) on the 3.5' table we used....we plan to tweak our "No Room at the Inn" scenario but play on a 9'x5' table for our 2nd attempt...according to what Sam is saying, you need about 24" of room for the attacker to move (@ 2" BW) for a "standard" game...if set up zones are 6BW into the board, that is 12" each...2 x 12" = 24" for the set up zones...if the attacker is to move within 8" (4BW) of the defender on Turn 3 as the "Tips" Download suggests, then you need 24" for moving + 24" for both set up zones + a 8" "No mans land" for musketry for the "perfect" game...thats 56", or a min of 4.5'. So a 5' (60") board would seem about right for 50mm or 2" sq stands...30 BW's...
Sam is this correct - the ideal board is about 30-32 BW's in depth???
The "Tips" download example would be 48" with a suggested BW of 1.5"/40mm = 32 BW's, correct?
