Cool. I wish they would stock them better around here.

I'm not sure what your estimate of large would be, but I usually run
basic
demo games with 8 players(4 per side) giving each player a small battle
group which usually consists of one capital, 1-2 cruisers, and 2-3
escorts.
A good game can usually fill the typical 3.5 hr time slot used at most
conventions. I like using a variety of ships for gameplay. This gives
players a chance to find the strengths and weaknesses of each type.
