We were having a problem with fast ships flying off the board and having
to readjust everything every two turns, so we decided to try out playing
in centimeter scale.
A couple of smaller ones and the final battle of my MechaZone campaign
were played in cm scale. I already gave that story (quite some time ago)
but I recently got the pics scanned.

This is a result of normal closing to range, not any deliberate attempt
to end up that way.
My verdict is: Centimeter scale sucks (note the ships placed on top of
each other).
As much as I dislike it, I'm beginning to think the only way to keep the
action on the table is to give ships top speeds (maybe 3*Thrust).
