*checks rules* Um, landing craft away then. All the sizes and types of
vehicles are available at TL5. 'sides I like vehicles (they make good targets).

No vehicles and the fact none of us were carrying area-effect or multishot
anti-infantry weapons.

As long as it's larger than 96x96 studs (the blast radius of a MkVI 'Nuke'
missle, assuming you're going to go overkill again).
On the whole January's battlefield may have been on the large side. A 'fig
move just over half a baseplate a turn and the biggest weapons fire across
four and half plates Including standing room at each end (and some flanks)
a battlefield of 7x8 plates is about 2.2x1.9m or 3x2.5m once room around
the sides is taken into account.
err. that's not really that small is it? Perhaps we won't be having the
invading spaceships on the field of play...

If you've got the space though.
James (who is trying to imagine a 2.5x3 space, how big is that?)
