that one is 6 by 12. At Gen Con it will be on a 6×16 that has water features and crags. Rusty is making it, but could not attend Adepticon.

My husband and I might have enough to play a game that big, but they’re mostly still not assembled onto trays. (Half Mantic, half Bones and lots of other types of minis) Someday…

We had a bunch playing, and in the tourney this year it grew from 22 to 62 players. The tourney scene is going well, and still growing here in the states. Think Lone wolf will be 90+?

In a few years perhaps I can enslave the toddler sweatshop style if he has an interest and is any good.

I think that was the original aim of the game – to make large mass fantasy battles possible in a reasonable time. Nice to see it’s so popular in America.
