Forum Battle Help

I am planning a big forum battle( somewhere in size of Natalya's Death War) but I don't have the space in my house. I have lots of floor space in my room but I can't keep stuff out because the FBI does'nt like it and i don't have a basement or games room to do stuff on. i have lots of baseplates. I was thinking that i could keep the battlefield in pieces under my bed and then drag it out when all orders are in. My bedroom's empty floor is roughly 7x7 but not all would be filled by baseplates. i also have to take the Shapiro into acount because i don't know hoe well a 5' long ship could maneuver, especially if I use the Marx's Revenge once it's finished.


Do you guys have any suggestions?

if you don't have the space you can't do the battle.

Maybe make the battlefield into "Chunks". When it is the spaceship turns, remove some and push them back. Say you had a 3 by 3 baseplate battlefield, with ships at the top end, remove the back 3, so the middle 3 would now be the back 3, the top 3 would be the middle 3, and the ships would be at the top!

7 x 7 -- Yards? Meters? Feet?

I just measured now and it's 7'x 8' but I don't have enough baseplates to fill that but it would still be pretty big.

Get a bunch of boxes. Put ur shit in them. Put them in a closet. If it doesn't fit then throw it out.

Then your room will be clean and you can have a battle.

My problem is that I can't keep it out because the FBI won't let me.

Kill mom!.. uh, that was a joke. I would never countenance violence in the home.

Ok, the segmented battlefield thing under the bed could be workable, do you think you can do it? Save me a space too, if you please.

As I said above, when you need a certain area of the battle, remove the others

I would just not include the Shapiro. If you're going to be doing a forum battle you have to expect it to be up for a long time. That giant space ship just adds to the trouble.

There haven't been many battle reports of non-forum battles in a while. You could always do one of those with the Shapiro involved, as it would only make your room messy for a couple of hours.

Make a smaal, intense CTF game. in, say, the bowels of a spaceship.

pretty much all of my basic briks are used up the the Shapiro and The Marx's Revenge right now so I can't make many buildings or walls.

I think I'm going to do a fairly big battle(with the two capitol ships)
but I will store the battlefield in pieces under my bed when not in use. These are the armies so far. PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE YET BECAUSE THEY MAY CHANGE AND IT WILL BE A WHILE YET BEFORE I DO THIS.
