Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Deployment based on paces away from center line: Yes.

Deployment 240p away from the side edge? It does hinder forming
corner fortresses somewhat. Let cavalry and lights deploy there.

The fact that 15mm units are a few percent larger relative to ground
scale is the core anomaly. It has small tactical effects across
scales, a difference that ideally would not exist. I don't see the
difference as fixable and I would like to know what these potential
traps are.

For battlefield size, logic suggests that there's no reason not to
standardize if the two games are not substantially different, and a
strong reason to standardize if they are substantially different.
Either way, logically you pick the single best size in paces for the
game system as a whole at a certain point level and go with that
across the board as the default board size.

Wait, wait, I realize that's not going to happen.

But what about grandfathering the respective board sizes while
reconciling the differences. Is there any reason you can't have
both a "regular" and "supersize" map tied to paces, the first
coincidentally ending up at 8x5 in 25mm and the other at 6x4 in
15mm, with everything else pro rata?

Then we have large or small boards applicable to any scale rather
than 15mm or 25mm boards.

Best of luck sorting this out, BTW,

Hmmn

As far as i know 8x5 boards do not exist in the UK. I have two 8x4 and one
6x4.

Correct me if im wrong regarding standard sizes available in the UK or other
countries.

I guess its a texan thing...

So before leaping to a standard of 8x5 consider those that cannot get them.

From what I have seen (which is relatively little...), most are
creating 8 x 5 by putting two tables together and then taping/marking
the needed area.

The local store we normally game at has only 6 x 4 tables.

You don't have Ping Pong tables in England?

Well yes there is the odd ping pong table in the country, although much
scarcer these days than they were. I have never seen one used for wargaming.

The 8x4 board is a standard board you can buy for about £10 ( about 7
dollars?) from your local builders or timber merchant. Most wargamers i know in
the
UK have these covered with cloth.

Incidentally cloth comes 52 inches wide, which is just enough to cover the
board and edges, at 8x5 this would not be possible.

Thinking ahead, if a tournament was to be run again in the UK there is no
way enough ping pong tables could be mustered.

Maybe those that played 7th in the Worlds at Derby can remember what size
boards were used. I was there but thought they were either 6x4 or 8x4 depending
on scale.
