Do you use them? If so do you use all of the rules which apply to them or do you simply use them to help set up fight scenes and say screw all the extras suchs as AoO and such?
And if you don't use them why not?
I personally have not used miniatures myself at all, I just found them to mostly be an unneccesary expense, of course I also thought the same of al non-core books, I was a PHB/DMG/MM1 only kinda guy for years and yet recently I find myself without a gaming group for the first time in a long while and it seems that the longer I go without a group or a game teh more I tend to by in the past 3 months I've bought 6 non-core books and just today I spent $40 on miniatures although I will probably never use them, in my groups we were just very straight forward ie "I attack the one closest to me with my sword" and never much thought of strategizin the fights that much, maybe it because I haven't played that much with 3.x rules although today I heard a hopeful rumor that 4th edition is going back to pen & paper roots without the miniatures involved and hearing such for some reason I still bought the miniatures and yet I'm not sure why...I must have a disease. Dragonemia perhaps and if its fatal I leave all my gaming gear to the GMF for the benefit of all.
