A. TerranScapes always seeks to balance playability, flexibility and appearance. I thought a difference of 2″ in either direction was an acceptable trade off in this case as the deployment zone can be extended or restricted by 2 inches for instance. Total square inch area for a 50″ x 70″ playing surface is 3500 in sq. For a 48″ x 72″ table it is 3456 in sq. This is less than 2% difference in total size. These boards have been accepted as playable in at least one Warmachine Tournament which typically uses a 48″ x 48″ playing area even though the closest size you can achieve with a set is 50″ x 50″. As mentioned before, the slightly smaller size of the boards also allows for many more possible configurations giving more layout variations.
