Giants Play Area Size

[brdavis]

I'm curious to know what the size of play area is for the scenarios that came with the Giants?
Or, what minimum/recommended size area do you all think is necessary to play these?

Thanks

[flash]

I'd say three would do it Brian - though these chaps extended further than that !

You could always use a scrolling mat ie use two & move one as you get to the edge.

Been there, done that:
Slay the Leviathan - Solo Trial

And an actual (if virtual) game, using a scrolling map:
SND - International Skype Game - Slay the Leviathan - 8-9 June 2013

I created a pair of 2.5’ x 6’ French countryside mats, which can be used separately or placed side-by-side to make a 5’ x 6’ mat. (See my post today 2-17-16.) Vistaprint can print 2.5’ wide vinyl banners in lengths of 4’, 6’, 8’, 10’ and 12’. A potential idea for a bombing run might be to make an even longer mat and scroll it on a shorter table by rolling each end.

Edit 2-19-16: I made a file for a 2.5' x 12' French Countryside scroller mat.

I printed the file that I made for the 2.5' x 12' mat.
I don't have any of the giants (yet) but the mat works well scrolled between two dowels on a flat surface.
I think would work well for a long bombing run . . . even for WWII bombers.
Perhaps the next version should be over the channel, the countryside then a city.
Here are some pictures.

That's very nice Tim, could be wider but what a great idea !

The width (30" or ~76cm) was dictated by the size banners available from the vendor I have used (Vistaprint). It is slightly wider than the narrow dimension of the official mats. The longest wider banner (48" or ~122cm) they make is 8' (2.44 meters), about 1/3 shorter and a lot more expensive.

Perhaps, I will eventually take up the challenge make a file for a wider (if shorter) scroller. . .
