Can I ask what size table you can "get away with"? I have a 35" x 50" area with 60" if absolutely necessary

Mine is 63" x 31.5".

It's this table here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR3NXTKK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ten years ago I was developing part of a counter UAS system for tanks and heavy vehicles.  I (and others) saw this day coming.

the continual cycle of evolution of tank warfare - some specific anti-tank weapon followed by an adaptation to nullify it followed by some specific anti-tank weapon followed by an adaptation to nullify it

Drake chronicled all of this in one of his interludes in the original Hammer's Slammers book, way back in the '70s
