We had 18 players for the Magna competition (8000 pts) on 1st/2nd April 2023. Played 5 rounds over two days.
Magna rules seemed to work well (at least from my perspective), but happy to welcome feedback from anyone who played.
8000 pts is a lot, resulting in most armies filling most of the table (the Alamanni definitely filled the table!). 7000 pts (planned for the event in June) should see a bit more space available.
A good proportion (more than half) of the games finished within the 2 1/2 hours timescale.
The next event is on 24/25th June at Battlefield Hobbies, Daventry.

I think reducing the flank areas to 3BW from 5BW would help too and be in keeping with the 2/3 rule without otherwise affecting play.
