Given that there are some who claim the move rates as a major impediment to their perception and enjoyment of DBA v3, have any of you tried the 12-element game with a shorter movement rate? For instance using 3/4 of a BW (or some other) say as the single move unit? This of course needs to be the same for shooting. I'd be curious to get the views of the fanatici on this. What you are doing is changing the meaning of "BW" for purposes of movement, shooting and perhaps command range?

Declaring a War on Terror in response to 9/11 is like declaring a War on Torpedo Bombing in response to Pearl Harbour...

We now always use one, unless specifically practising for a tournament . Scott

As a person who is adverse to playing DBA3.0 (do not laugh like that), I have to say I much prefer the bigger board though.

P.S. - On a smaller board you could try using DBA2.2 measures with DBA3. It would reduce the move distances, and give the feel of DBA2.2 movement.
