    What are some of the recommended playing areas for different sized games? For example, would one mat be too small for 6 to 8 ships?

    I would say that is about the maximum number of ships that I would want to field on a single mat Salem, although it depends to some extent how good your captains are at keeping a Battle Line intact.
    You should be O.K. at up to that many.

    I agree Rob and also what type of action you are intending to do, ie: running fight, line v line, shore or fortress action.

    And how about damage counter sets? Is there a good ratio for ships in play to damage sets?

    Personally I use two sets.
    You should be able to get them as an add on.
    Keith has them on the Anchorage store for $9.99

    I prefer two gaming mats for 4+ games.

    One damge counter set was enough for 6 big ships (2 x 1st rates 4 x 3rd rate).

    I think you need a second one for more ships.

    Well, that's great news. That's exactly the game size I have in mind for when I teach my friends
