cm scale sucks

The pictures were a bit fuzzy, but from what I could make out of them the SD
ships weren't the ones causing the problems. (Or is the red blur a
Talon? I can't see well enough to say :-(  ) The ones based on what
looked
like GW Space Fleet bases seem more cramped, though - but they are far
larger than the SD fighters I've seen so far.

Touching bases is my standard formation distance (ie, 3 mu) for lighter ships
(on SD bases, that is; most of them are converted SD units.) unless the enemy
uses Nova Cannon or Waveguns...

Yup, it's on top of a Revenge.

They were all cramped. It's one huge base-to-base connected mass.
I don't know about you, but if I have ships ranging from Mass 8 DDs to Mass
100 superdreddies on the board, I want some slight variation in model size.

Not touching bases with the *enemy* I hope? That's my point. To bring a
formation to close firing range, you're essentially fighting a melee in cm
scale.

Good thing we didn't have any PT ships trying to get within 6cm...
