6'x8'? Wow, nice if you can manage it :D might take a bit longer before you get across it and in to combat though.

40K does still have the troop dispersal and tactics, but I think it's a bit more dynamic and flowing, where as Warhammer ends up more organised and planned :)

Agreed on that, though on a large board I find that the battle does become free flowing, movement and planning is very integral. Becomes more interesting when you use the rule Troop LOS only (meaning there is no Gods eye view when it comes to reacting to h'hidden troops') Oh the fun when a spear unit marches hapless ly to its doom around a hill only to face a swarm of undead skeletons...(which happened to me :-)).

Still reckon that for over all mental planning WH wins out - after all the initial shooting in WH40K - this tends to become target specific.
