Whats the optimal gaming size table you recommend for gaming Modern or Sci-Fi skirmish games w/ 15mm minis (keeping in mind tables for use in the home, not just clubs)?

I have found my 3x5 dining table works fine for 15mm skirmish. I also have two portable folding tables from Target but have yet to use them.

Just use lots of scenery and/or buildings.

Ambush Alley IIRC says 2'x2' for 15mm.

I've played many Ambush Alley games on the recommended 2'x2' and it worked fine. I ran a convention gane with 5 players on a 3'x3'.

I have run a number of Ambush Alley games on a 3'x3' area. Works fine.

I guess that, like it or not, my skirmishes are going to have to be played on a 2 x 4 board, on top of the kitchen island.

Example:

I hope that works.

I think it really depends on the rules… Flying Lead can be played on a 2'x2', but Stargrunt II would be ten levels of awesome on a 4'x8'…
