These are some long games. Do you use a roughly 8'x4' table with 1-3 "one
foot square" terrain pieces per 2'x2' area?
Do you have any house rules that differ radically from the game as written?
I can imagine Tryranid games going 4 or 5 turns, buit 14?!????
And the others are pretty long too...
In my experince, two and three turn games are the norm with one turn games a
rarity (but by no means impossible).
