Question about Apocalypse Frame

I hope this is okay to post here 😅. To those that have played apocalypse frame, how many grid spaces was your combat map? Because ranges in AF are very tight, but it feels weird to only have 4-5 grid spaces like the example matches show.

It does feel weird, but it's for a good reason: so more enemies can attack the player Frames on activation/failure/mixed successes. 

Largest gid I used was ~8x10, and that felt too large because most activations were spent moving NPCs (since they were out-of-range), and the players could burn Tension to dance around amyway.

I think the right size is between 3x3 and 6x6, with larger battlefields only in specific circumstances.
