Hi all,
Thinking about doing BKC but I only have a playing area of 4'x4' , ideal for PBI and Abteilung rules, but is it too small for BKC, looking at bat reps and other places the games look massive !
Please help?

I either play on a 5x5 at home or a 6x4 at the club, fine unless your'll looking for 5000pt+ battles

We played recently on a 4x4 table, 10mm, 2000pts vs 1000pts and it fit perfectly well.

Ah cool, did wonder, will have to look further into it:)

4'x4' tables work well for smaller battles, but 6'x4' tables give greater scope for manouevre and naturally bigger battles. 90% of my games take place on 6'x4' tables.

You would be fine with that, although you probably want to have a fair bit of terrain or avoid the late war really-long-range AT and tank destroyers.

Thanks guys, handy it not being any good for late war, just got myself a load of early war stuff:)

Early war you should be fine as the wearon ranges are often 30cm, 40cm, 50cm max.

Games heavy on infantry as opposed to tank battle would work well too
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.
