A 6x6 grid of 32x32's? Phew, those little plastic guys better have some
vehicles to ride around in! I'd say that if you're using all vehicles, that's
about right, but you still want to put in plenty of terrain accessable only on

4 player game. Otherwise you'll spend the whole game moving your men.

Well, whatever you meant, I would go with not less than ten, nor more than
fifteen figs per person (assuming you have vehicles. Without vehicles, jack
those numbers up by four or five...then down again if there are no explosives
involved ;-).
