Out of curiousity, what terrain?

If you were fielding all those ships at the same time you might get 
difficulties physically fitting them all on the table, but since you're 
sending them in in waves losses should keep the crowding to tolerable
levels.

In inches, sure - 72mu x 48mu is quite cramped. However, in cm scale it 
turns into 180mu x 120mu - which allows a lot *more* manoeuvring than
the 
96mu x 72mu (8ft x 4ft) you were hoping for... :-)
