Yep I have to agree with the above. When playing on a table sized area
then
cm is the only reasonable scale if the small ships are going to play any
kind of effective role. I prefer to have one or two large ships and then
the
rest, say about six or seven, small ships (I really like the NAC
Corvette
mini from Copelands).
