And there I was, thinking that the trend was for smaller tables.... 
(a lot of skirmish games these days seem to make a big feature of the 
fact that you only need a 4' x 4' table, and for some of them as 
little as 2' x 2').  ;-)

On the subject of groundscale, the sort of thing I'm thinking of for 
SG:AC is 1mm = 1 metre, which conveniently converts (near enough for 
Government work) to 1" = 25 metres. Thus 4" (100mm) = 100 metres.
To me, that just feels kind of "right" for 15mm figures, allowing for 
reasonable length infantry moves while also accommodating 
modern/SciFi weapons ranges too.

That fits nicely between to the DSII recommended groundscale of 1" = 
100 metres and the SGII one of 1" = 10 metres.

PS: I've changed the thread title to something that better reflects 
what we're now discussing.....

PPS: please, everyone, feel free to chip in on this discussion! Any 
thoughts, opinions etc are potentially useful. You never know, it 
just MIGHT start getting me inspired about rules again (which is 
something that has been sorely lacking for some time now....).

What do YOU want out of a 15mm SciFi ruleset?
