>What board/map size is the standard?

There isn't one. Ok, quickly:

Playing 1 map per 4 Mechs is a common rule of thumb, but putting 4 maps down for a lance on lance game is still well within SOP. The real question is WHICH maps. If he's asking for 2 extra maps so he can take 2 box canyon or heavy woods maps, then he's trying to rig the game. If he's fine with you picking or rolling for the extra 2 maps, then he's not being unreasonable. And honestly, with you having 8x cLPLs with good gunners, on a 2 map game, you can move to the middle of the playing area and hit *every hex* on the playing surface accurately unless there's intervening terrain. You already have an advantage by virtue of playing on only 2 maps, so playing on 4 maps allows him to maneuver a bit outside of your 40-hex wide engagement envelope.
