What size table is this game recommended for?

Developer

That's a good question because I never took that into consideration.

Any size would do, since I mostly used this for virtual tabletops in mind.

I ask because a friend and I played the game in person, and it was a bit confusing to see 1 square = 15 inches. It was almost half the size of the table we used.

It was also strange to see some units that had a size of 2 squares. It makes sense in roll 20, but when one square = 15 inches, that means the figure you need sounds like it has to be 30 inches by 30 inches. Which is very large.

We ended up making 1 square = 7.5 inches, this was very big, but playable.

That is perplexing and I consider this my mistake in not knowing of scale.

Consider this errata in saying 1 square = 1 inch, though 5 inches also works.
