Floor play... Re: What is AoG thinking?

I've played on the floor a few times. Nice maneuvering room (just had to
be careful not to step on the escorts!)

Not to mention usually hard on those of us with aged knees. I know
others
have
mentioned using large floor areas, and I've had my fevered dreams of
flat
park
areas with ships on stakes, but I always figured they'd be at least 1
yard
or
meter tall. In the park idea, I tried yardsticks with plastic lawn
sprinkler
sharp pegs on the bottom, and plastic model ships on the top.

The yardsticks I had bent too easily under ship's weight and force of
trying
to drive into the ground. Never did get a test of my line-and-protractor
on
the stick for shots and movement...

Or the 360 degree bubble levels I was going to put on the top...

Nor the Pop-Up Double Trouble die flippers I was going to put in the
ships...

DID I MENTION FEVERED BRAIN???
