LOL if a few inches on a throwaway component put you off KT I wonder what you make of how they're selling (or not selling?) Adeptus Titanicus.

The board size has been pretty good so far. I've played about 10 games or so now. Like others pointed out the board size was motivated by being able to play on a standard card game sized table. Not only can you fit large events into a basic gaming store setup but even when you aren't doing an event you don't take up the large tables. Lets say you've got 3 6x4 tables at your store it's nice to have the kill team people able to use regular tables to keep the big tables free for full sized wargaming.

Game wise it works well so far. It makes everything more dangerous. First turn charges can be possible, melee is always a threat, and while the -1 for long range hurts it's easier to get within half range. If you set up the right amount of terrain you can get cover but you can also move enough to flank around it if you try.

It's going to be expensive but the game itself looks really cool, templates... fire arcs... it's like a game for adults

I think it's worth expanding the play area a bit and just add an extra turn before random so like 5 turns instead of 4. The card board looks nice but is really limiting in terms of what kind of terrain and it's overall placement.

Certainly one consideration was finding a play area small enough that between a Killzone and a Kill Team purchase or two, you'd have plenty of terrain density.

And dense terrain is what makes killteam so much fun
