Status: offline 		We would very much like to get some feedback on the most popular types of firefights, so that when we prepare more we'll know how to focus efforts. If you have already had the game long enough to play multiple firefights please choose at least one option. And, of course, feel free to discuss. Thanks!

Multiplayer has all been small so far because everyone has been new to the game and I didn't want to have anyone overwhelmed.

As ASL player I love the campaign games, the size does matter!

Bigger the firefight, lesser the lucky factor.

Seriously, the boardgame to me is best when there are a lot of different units that showcase their strengths and weakness' when there is a variety of units. 2-5 squads, while quick and instructive do little to showcase the strengths of the system.

Status: offline 		The strengths of the system do come into play on 1 board maps, but that is very dependent on the unit mix and scenario objectives. 2 boards is where some real meaty scenarios can be created. 4 boards don't make the game feel any more alive just force you to pan a whole lop more, but there are a few good 4 board scenarios. 2 boards, or medium if you want to call it that, offer the best combo of richness without the headache of constant panning.

Small to medium please.

I enjoy restricted unit types. E.g. Infantry and support
