I'm trying to figure out how much terrain to build for an ACW game for Fall In. Does anyone know the dimensions of the tables used by the Host? Thanks.

I seem to recall them available in both 2.5 x 6 and 2.5 x 8

The standard size for a game is 4 of these idivudal tables, making a 6'x10' playing surface.

And if you need a longer table, they can add more, but you need to let them know how many tables when you register your game.

Hmmm……judging from Mark's and Chris's responses there seem to be 2 differing sizes. The longer tables, the ones in the Lampeter room, are they 2.5 or 3 feet wide? The ones Chris is talking about are the 3X5 foot ones one finds in the back rooms?

You use four 6 x 2.5 to create a single 6x10. I seem to remember in some rooms they were the same 2.5 foot depth but 8' length

Like Extra Crispy says, I was talking about 4 of the 2.5 x 6 tables being put together to make a 10' x 6'.

I don't think there's any 3' x 5' tables

Thanks guys. I want to put this on in an evening in the Lampeter room. I guess those are the 2.5x6 foot tables. The tables are laid out lengthwise, so 4 tables would be 5x12 feet. Placing 4 of them as Mark suggests may be too disruptive.

I think everything is a standard 2.5 feet across, so the only issue is whether you push two together to have 5' widths or whether you switch the tables around to have the long side be the width at 6', in which case your length is X number of tables times 2.5'

Dimensions mentioned above seem about right.

If you want a 6x10 just let them know. I know that's my preferred size when I run games and they never had any problem at the Host accomodating me. Never felt "cramped" or in the way either.
