Don't let it worry you...
I've played one FC game with counters in the last three years, and no SFB games w/o minis in the same time frame.
Heck, I'm trying to collect enough minis to play Federation and Empire using minis only.

I'm thinking about the size of the map that'd take. Fortunately, my head hasn't exploded yet

A good sized, school gymnasium should work nicely...

Scoutdad, did you get enough "factory reject" ships to represent all the cripples?
F&E-with-minis could be a solution to the "clickybase minimum run" issue... just print the F&E stats in the clickybase, issue a "superduper mega-scale F&E map" and the F&E players will snap them up.

Terry:
No, not enough "rejects" yet... but maybe I can cajole a few more out f Steve this year at Origins... Maybe a case of Diet Dr. Pepper and an Orion Slave Girl will do the trick!
I have found a work around though...
The way we play, you have more dead ships than cripples. A cotton bal, soaked in a 1:1 mix of Elmer's Glue:water then placed on a stand looks a lot like an explosion if you air brush i
t correctly!

I'd like to be able to make it down, but I don't think I can afford it this year.
Knowing my luck, I'll never get to go...
