Ideal map size

I can't remember what the size is of a standard map (in terms of how many hexes long or tall), but I always played with 2 maps put together. 1 map just seemed to constricting, and a pain to constantly be adjusting the planes for flying off the edge.

For convention play, I added maps to the width AND the length. So that was a total of six maps. That was plenty of room for a slow-moving bomber to spend five or six turns getting to its target and then trying to get off the map before suffering too much damage, while the fighters swarmed around trying to nail the bomber, or each other.

It was a good size.  Rarely did we have to do the sideways adjustment when you're near the edge.
