Sorry this is late! I hope you all had a pleasant day so far, and may it continue to be stress free.

My friend's house. He happened to have a bunk bed he wasn't using, and the boards used for supporting the mattresses were the right width. We put both of them side to side on a table, and part of one was hanging on the couch.
He has no kids and only turtles for pets--so no interruptions!
2500 points a side, 2 players. Back before the MC 70, may have been before the Liberty, actually. Took us five evenings, 4-6 hours at a time. My poor Rebels were squished.
Played at my FLGS, with the owner. Evenings during the week are a bit slow, and he has his personal gaming table adjacent to the register, so he can play and still keep the lights on. Game would have gone a bit quicker, but store policy is "If you have money to give me, I will wait to play my game"
My biggest game was 1000 points a side with only a single commander.
I was up against Ackbar, 3xMC80, AFFM Pelta, AF-II, MC30, TRC90, GR75 & 220 points of squads.
I went for something like
SSD-AP, Jerjerrod, GT, LTT, QBT, OL Pulse, LS, Palpatane, Brunson, Intel Officer. Cymoon, GT, LTT, Vanto, Intensify Fire. Cymoon, GT, LTT, SFO.
Arquitens Light Cruiser, TRC, Needa.
Arquitens Light Cruiser, TRC.
Arquitens Light Cruiser, TRC.
Arquitens Light Cruiser, DTT, Hand of Justice.
Gozanti, Comms Net.
Gozanti, Vector.
Howlrunner, Mauler, Valen, Dengar, 4 TIE Interceptors, Black Squadron.
Turn 2 the Rebels did an AFFM alpha strike with 14 squadrons killing an Arquitens and 3 squads. In reply the SSD flakked the lot with LTT & LS rerolls and it was devastating then my surviving squads piled in and added to the hurt.
Later on GT SSD shots with OL Pulse makes ECM MC80s panic and stops them firing at the flagship because of Palpatane.
At 1000 points Armada is definitely a red dice game. Intensify fire was so useful and with so much long range fire you can eliminate whichever target you feel threatens you most unless it turns and runs from the battle. Any way the SSD did go down in the end but we killed all the MC cruisers and the 2 mega flak shots meant the fighter forces fought each other to a standstill.
Battle of Endor. Didn't bother adding up points. It was something like 33 ships or something ridiculous. Kept it to six rounds, and I'd guess total we spent 6-8 hours. Luckily we don't use our dining room table much so it just stayed set up over several days.
@Bertie Wooster Wow! 15 hours takes some serious dedication. Where was it, that it was undisturbed for 15 hours, if I may ask?
Corellian Conflict, AOO. 6 players, 3000 points on the table. I believe it took 15 hours. TBH in the end it was just two people playing it out by the end, because most of us had to leave.
