My standard game is 2k for me, and im working on making it 3 k. When i played even an 1850 game with an ork player, it felt a little crowded, this was on a 6x4. I think at 2500 i might be pushing it, at what point would you play on a bigger table? And how would you do it? 8x4? or customer L shape or H shaped table?

Follow up, at what point would you say your game is Apoc scale? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858603.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858603.page GMT At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc?

Apoc game other wise we don't bother. It's more like extra rules now than before. Previously Apoc was recommended for games at least 3000 points or more. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858655.page GMT At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc?
Once you start hitting those levels, games start to take 3+ hours, and then its really getting into Apoc territory]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858684.page GMT At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc? Apoc used to be defined as 3k+.

As for table size it depends on the armies; I've seen 2k Guard armies that would have trouble deploying in 6'x4' and 3k Inquisition that wouldn't be out of place on a 4'x4'. There's some amount of trial and error required to figure out what the appropriate table size is.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858695.page GMT At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc? GW once gave, way back in the day, was to allow two feet of table for every 500 points.

The game scale has changed somewhat over the years, the addition of the Reserves rule allows bigger armies to squeeze onto smaller tables, and the specific armies involved can make a difference, but I think that's still a pretty good guideline. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858699.page GMT At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc?
A 6x4 table can handle 2500 points at the most.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8858708.page GMT At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc?

6'x4' is not that big even for 1500 pts 2nd ed game and ever since that model counts keep going up...

Basically bigger the better. More room, more manouver, more tactics.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8859354.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8859354.page GMT Re:At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8859374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8859374.page GMT At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc?
Generally, the bigger the table, the more manouvering and tactical decisions there are - and the more cover the more decisions need to be made.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8859690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8859690.page GMT At what point do you need a bigger table, and at what point is it apoc? For 5000 pts, games we play at one and a half standard table: 4'x9'.
For apoc games, 10,000 pts, we play at two standard tables: 4'x12'.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8859699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700502/8859699.page GMT
