We've played it like that as well but I thought I should ask.
When do you guys feel it's the better deployment option?
That is the correct layout. You will note that each deployment area is only 5 feet long so the entire area is only 2.25 sq. feet, as compared with the standard deployment are that is 6 feet long and covers 3 sq. feet
This is useful in two ways
1. This reduced deployment area allows you to have a better chance of spacecraft bombardment hitting a target,
2. In general it means that enemy formations have further to travel so you can make it harder for non-mechanised armies to reach objectives.
