				| Hi Chris,
 
 Thanks, I am looking at trying some 25mm armies prior to plunking down bucks
 for lead.  I currently only have 15mm.  I like my Post-Mongol Russians, but am
 concerned about maneuver space.  I tried out Spartacans using surrogates and
 really liked them, despite being ridden down by Crusading knights.  We played
 on 5 x 4, so maybe I would've gotten into contact sooner and cut down
 maneuverability of knightly types.  I have always liked Japanese, so they are on
 my
 test bench as well along with various Hebrew armies (a weakness of mine).  I
 tend to like pedestrian-heavy armies, but still haven't broken the code on
 handling knights very well.  Hoping to test out some new ideas this Sunday, so
 will
 try it on 5x3.
 
 Thanks,
 John

 In the Pennsylvania tourneys we typically have used a 5' by 8'

 exactly the same ground scale.  I worked it out several years ago and
 senelity has started to settle in so I can not recall the exact figures
 but I believe that the width is within 4% and the depth was less than 1%
 difference.  I would tune up for the tourneys by playing the guys in
 Augusta (who pretty much all played 15mm at the time) by playing on a
 3x5 table.
 I hope that helps!

				| What about the relative size of terrain pieces?  Does using normal
 size 15mm terrain maintain the right relationship to the ground they
 take up in 25mm?

				| 25mm terrain is gigantic - so a regular 15mm terrain piece will do on a 3x5
 board.
