We played most games on 4×4’ or 4×6’ tables. Using centimeters, this was lots of room. Scaled up to the inches, this was the equivalent of gaming on (roughly) 10×10’ or 10×15’ tables. We did not find any gameplay problems associated with scaling distances down, and we think this is a strength of the system. A game played on a 4×12’ table using inches saw basically no room for maneuver (units were in proximity on the first turn) and suggests that when using inches, a minimum table depths of 6 feet is desirable if you want an opportunity to maneuver.

This features rules for raids, sieges and settlements. It does not include any army lists though it does include things that can be added to the armies derived from the lists in the other books. The reviewer in Wargames Illustrated considered a key feature of this supplement in that it facilitates battles that take more varied forms than a simple head to head battle. [17]
