I love the big board aspect. I especially like the "true scaled" version of 1/2" = 1 yd. I like 3/4 scale too and I am also down with a 620. I prefer the true scale boards though.

As mentioned by Jimbo, we have quite a few choices to purchase bigger boards and we are free to make our own as well. One thing that is important to consider is if you ever plan on traveling with the beast. While it would be great to adopt a true scale board as the most accepted size for the masses, who will pack it up and roll with it? Can't take it w/you on a flight. Will have to disassemble it to put it in your vehicle unless you own/rent a very large vehicle. In short, it would be tough to take and use your home field to an outing where you had the option to utilize it. How many organizations or event hosts would/could pony up for a room full of them for a given event. How much would the room cost to hold them (it would have to be a massive room to hold 16 or more with room to play, walk, and for spectators).

Again, I love and prefer true scale boards over all others. But practicality and compromise have to enter into the picture somewhere - even before economics. Whichever you choose, it is not a wrong decision as long as it suits your personal needs and you enjoy it. I know I do. But it doesn't stop me from enjoying smaller scaled boards either.

Long Live The Beasts Called Big Boards! They WILL change your gaming experiences.
