Thank U Brendan for your feedback...   The table we regularly play at is

12'x7' or so...    So the range is available for engagements.	

The Risk vrs Reward is part of the Midgard Herding logic, as we have a
Light 
Cruiser mod with B4, to hopefully get that early hits, and "hopeful"
cause the 
enemy to disengage with damage before we are forced too.   But then
again 
many of the players I play against are old Wargammers/Campaigner.. so we
don't 
have many battles until the end/total distruction to 1 or both sides.

Just a Lurker here on the Digest, But maybe I have a good idea or 2..
