My friend Glenn came to town a couple of weeks ago for a few days and we decided to find out how many games we could get off one table set up. With just a few modifications, the answer was four….. link

Nicely done! MY frst thought was that with a square table and an attacker-defender set-up, rotating the board 90 degrees at a time and swapping out roles gave you 9 games without changing armies or rules. But your way provides much more variety. |

Hmph. How on earth did I arrive at 9? Defending and attacking from each of four potential baslines is 8. Throw in dual attacks and you get 12. Must have been tired. Anyway, that's my excuse and I'm holding to it. |

I do the same. I remove/replace a piece of era appropriate terrain and ready to go. It helps having a dedicated gaming table. Fun read Thanks. |

Interesting how simply swapping what the terrain on the table can so easily change eras. ACW, WW2, Sci-Fi, just change the buildings. Sign of a good table set up that you got four interesting games out of it. |
