With 3rd edition, we started using miniatures, then tried 3.0 with narrative. We gave it up because the DM just had to 'wing it' when it came to Attacks of Opportunity, threatened areas, and reach.The graph-paper tracking behind the DM screen won't take away player control, it will just focus on narration as opposed to a Warhammer Fantasy Battles feel of combat. I'm planning on letting my players ask all of the questions they want before taking an action (i.e.: Q:'Will casting my spell provoke an attack of opportunity ?' A: 'Not if you move back a little bit.').We'll still be using miniatures from time to time, but there are situations where it's just nice to not have to interrupt the flow of the game to set up miniatures and gather everyone up off the floor and couch to sit at the table and move their minis. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
