fingolfen Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 One cool aspect of the Pacific War is that in some cases the battlefields were very small. How small? Small enough to put a fair portion of the battlefield on several tabletops for a mega gaming-day... http://miniordnancerev.blogspot.com/2016/05/of-game-scale-and-ground-scale-fighting.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 If you did every 2000 meters of the island as 2 feet, you could have the whole battle on a 10 foot table, maybe even an 8 foot table. The island is tiny. I am not sure where the article you highlight gets it's measurements. The scale on the map he provides shows the island as roughly 10 KM long, but he gives the length of the island as 3000 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingolfen Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Honestly there's a couple of ways you could go - I wouldn't recommend sliding scale the whole island at once, but using the mini-campaign over at Behind Enemy Lines there's a couple where you'd be fighting on effectively a 1/4 or 1/5 of the island. Alternately you could go the other way - set up a mega battle with a lot of your friends and use 1:1 scale tables. If you click on the second image on the blog post, it has sample 4x6 FoW tables superimposed over it in some of the key areas - that equals 400x600 real feet.
