Call it 2,000. You actually managed to fit considerably more than that. So, a 12 x 6 foot table should be able to fit at least 6,000 figures, and I have a little less than that now. So, I could do it (my table is 6 x 18 feet, if I ever cleared all the junk off the far end!). However, unboxing and reboxing that many troops is a HUGE amount of work - I ought to know because it takes me a whole weekend to pack for Historicon each year, to say nothing of smaller conventions. Having said that, I do tentatively plan to do a "group shoot" of the Prussians in July, and that will be 900+figures by itself!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-51653297632995654912015-06-19T10:13:28.922-04:002015-06-19T10:13:28.922-04:00I would love to see all yours laid out Peter, but ...I would love to see all yours laid out Peter, but I suspect you do not have a big enough table.<br /><br />Johnjohn de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-86156512622531844622015-06-18T21:00:03.699-04:002015-06-18T21:00:03.699-04:00What a grand spectacle, John!
