Post subject:  Epic houseageddon in London?

So I am confined to barracks after work hours - but I could with my vast empty wind blown house accomodate a big game of Epic that would take a while to play? Obviously only at weekends and evenings but over any period from now up to Christmas.

I can check tonight but with some creative furniture positioning I might be able to fit at least 3 6x4 boards long edge to long edge in the dining room. With increased depth and dynamic reserves could have a lot of troops involved...


If its multiplayer the rules discussed a while back with each sides players having a C&C area which determins which formations they can activate that turn (i.e. anything not activated so far that turn that starts its move in that players designated area - say a 4x6 strip of the table - they can activate) and each sides players all giving orders at the same time (so if 2 players on one side both give an order to troops and then none, one or both could choose to retain after completing that action).

I'd give it a go but it's postcode-dependent if it's going to be in the evenings. :)

It would be HA9 in between stonebridge park tube station (closest) on Bakerloo line/overground from Euston and Neasden on Jubilee line.

Looks like a 25 minute drive for me, I'd be up for it.

It's an 8 minute bus ride from Royal Oak station which is very close to my place so it works brilliantly for me too.

And I can chip in too. We may be able to borrow some trestles etc - - -

Couldn't fit any boards in my car, but could certainly fit some trestles & scenery boxes.

Well some 'research' with a tap measure sadly reveals the space in the front room is 11x11 and a bit. Sadly not enough for three boards. Unless peoples have 2 foot wide board sections? Otherwise 6x8 would be the limit it seems. The bedrooms larger but in an epic planning mistake I put the bed in there.

Actually I do have four 4x2's. Unpainted, though.

Mine are car transportable and fold out to form a table that is either 10' x 4', or 8' x 5'.
But they do need at least 6x tressles . . . .

So the components are -
stolen boards from club (they would never know until it was too late!) - x 6x4 tables
Bens tables - 4 4x2's
Gavins tables - 2 5x4 (or 3x4 if folded)

And 11x11 of potential space remembering humans need to breath and whatnot. Also widths of over 6 feet are in practice not easy to use!

Go construct a table! :)

Options top of my head
6x4 tables
4 4x2's
2 5x4/3x4

8x6 - (2 x 6x4) - a bit small for this sort of thing!
8x8 - too wide
10x4 with an additional 8x2 strip at the top - needs a lot of support (tresles).
'6'x10 - 8x6 with a 8x2 strip placed along the wall for a length of 10 feet and a widht that is 8 feet but only for 2 feet then it is 6 feet.

I will also see if the bedroom can at all be used - there is a spare bedroom for me to camp in for a month instead!
