Recomended board size for 3x1000p
« on: May 12, 2009, 09:02:43 PM »
Hello!

I have just started playing again after several years of break.
Wee are 3 players, and we would like to meet in a 3-way battle. (Imperial, Capitols and Bauhause)
The only table we have is only usefull for two armys of about 500p, and as we are now out to get another one, I was wondering what size of table youl would recomend for 3 players of about 1000p each?

Thank you!

We have a table of about 48" by 72" and it works pretty well for armies around the size you propose.

Have alook at: http://forum54.oli.us/index.php?topic=4554.msg30566#msg30566
To get a feeling of the tabel, just look at some of the battle reports and the outcome to see what´s possible and what´s not. ;D

Depends extremely on what you want to play!
If you like long dinstances many para-deployments, you can try for a field a bit broader to lenghten the distances.

If you only play three-player games you may want to us a board of approx. 60" by 60" I think.
On an square you will have it easier to managa to get the distances even for everyone than on a rectangle

I would think the smallest I would try would be a 5X5.
