[QUOTE="2eBladeSinger, post: 4325998, member: 65432"] To be honest, I’ve never liked using the grid and have always found the pure narrative/imaginative form of combat much more appealing. Our group initially tried combat without the grid but we found it very confusing because the shift, slide, burst and blast effects are so dependent on position – each of us had a different idea of our tactical (dis)advantage. This may have has something to do with an unfamiliarity of the rules as well. However, we then played with the grid. Not only was it easier, but I found it enjoyable. The emphasis on the grid had been a big concern but my opinion has changed; because 4e provides great incentive, it’s not that I HAVE to use the grid but now I GET to use the grid. That being said, I think now that we’ve had a few games under our belts and have a better understanding of the rules, I’ll try smaller battles gridless and try to set up larger battles through a narrative before plunking the miniatures down.
