“Everyone wants to play on a bigger table”.
I am lucky enough to get to play on a 15 foot x 6 and a half foot table every week. I often imagine a full table D-Day battle in either 15mm or 28mm.
Great show with good tips/hints and suggestions.
Great looking table and it is import to have that terrain when play these types of games. @dignity how do we show off our tables in the comments?
Here is a big 12×6 table that we recently played on at Other Partizan. We were playing Very British Civil War using Bolt Action rules. With the game set in Britain we aimed to create a realistic British countryside.
