"Non Tournament Table Sizes" Topic

My friend and I play Flames of War v4 Desert Rats v DAK, we have a reasonable size collection each (250+ points Each). We have been playing on a 6 x 4 Table with 200pts a side but find there is not much room for maneuver.

What Table size should we be using for these bigger games? does anyone else think 6x4ft is too small for the number of points we are using?

I use a Ping Pong Table for my 28mm gaming needs: 5 feet by 9 feet. No regrets, except occasionally, even that is not big enough! I typically use green indoor/outdoor carpet, cut to length -- it comes in 5-foot width, on a roll, at most DIY stores. Add terrain pieces, and play. Cheers!

My situation is almost exactly that of Sgt. Slagg. I've had no regrets plus there is room under the table to store most of my scenery. The only problem is that I've been in a gaming slump the last few years and haven't used it.

I'm pretty sure that you want a 4x8 for 250pts of FoWv4. Or bigger.

It feels like v4 points are roughly 1/10 of v3, so I'd only want to put 150pts a side on a 4x6 table.

Now, if you have a 4x6 table already, the ideal answer is to build a second 4x6 that you can solidly connect to the first, giving you a 6x8 table. Discordia Games in Bremerton, WA had the right setup, their 4x6 tables were all on (mechanic's toolbox) casters, so you could put even 3 tables together for a 6x12. You can't go bigger than that, though, as you can only reach 3' into the center of a table.

I had to replace the undercarriage of my Ping Pong Table, years ago. I installed two sets of folding table legs (hardware store purchase), on each table half. I used steam trunk hasps to lock the two halves together, for gaming. I used one set of hasps on each side of the table, to lock it securely together, and for ease of reach when you need to separate them -- two hasps per half, near the outside edges. The hasps hang underneath out of sight, when not in use.

Be sure to put the two halves slightly apart, such that when you lock them, the two table halves are pulled tightly together. Put hasps on each table end, and you can attach another table to each end, making it as long as you need. Once latched together, they are solid, as if they were a single table. Works superbly, for little money. Cheers!

Like Lion In the Stars, our club tables are on wheels. We have (I think) 10 tables so ou normal game table is 6 x 12, with other games running on the free tables.

Upgrade to 6x8 and make sure you have enough terrain. With one notable exception, I have never regretted having MORE table space. I frequently regret too little.
