Megabattle: There will only be ONE table.

[Chase]

This years Megabattle will be played on one, giant table.  This table will be 48'x6'.  (12 4'x6' tables)

[Librarian]

Aww i was hopeing for a 13 table long one..so we could mention more than 50 feet of table.

[Rurouni Benshin]

We can just add 2' to the long end, just so we can, Josh... 

[Grand Master Steve]

This will be interesting specialy with deep striking,  drop pods, and fliers

[Logan007]

Any special rules/restrictions for the table?

[Benjamin]

*looks over at my Daemon army* Yeah. Interesting. The part I'm looking forward to most is needing to be on the other side of the table...

Yikes!  "Hold on a minute, I need to go measure something from your side."

[Chase]

Will it be chaotic?  Absolutely.

Will it be awesome.  Absolutely.

Teamwork, people.  Teamwork.

I suggest having a buddy in the case where you'll be running all over the place.

If you're a savvy player, I think you'll have plenty of time to run all over and get your stuff done.  The first round is always 3-4 hours long anyways.

[Chase]

Any special rules/restrictions for the table?

Yup. 

Be cool. 
Have fun.
Goofy stuff is goofy.
Let's shoot for an aesthetically pleasing table because I want to send pics to GW and get us in White Dwarf.  This means giant robots en masse are allowed, but I'd love to see them left at home.

An example:  I'd rather see Rich take An'ggrath and Scabeiathrax over the Banelord, even though the Banelord is fun and cool.

Example 2:  I'd rather see Captain Brian field anything other than 6-10 stompas.  It's just sort of dumb.  Doable and legal, but dumb.

[Ian Mulligan]

You guys should write everyone's army lists.

[Chase]

That comment doesn't surprise me.

[Serring]

I think Brian is *only* bringing 5 stompas and a bad@$$ skullhammer that will be playing music from a legit orc band.

Ok, then can we get an idea of the table's layout? We've less than a month to prepare for it now.

That was a joke, to clarify. Despite being on the internet for most of my adult life, I still forget things don't translate well to text.


That being said, I would rather see hard and fast restrictions on datasheets or super heavies in the future rather than the current shame-based enforcement. As we've seen, everyone has different ideas of what would be appropriate for this sort of event. Having very clear limits would give you the feel you're looking for without putting players in an odd position where they may offend you with their army choices despite having the freedom to make them.

+1. Embrace the idea of everything allowed wholeheartedly or embrace the restrictions wholeheartedly.
