Combat Tier

[James McMurray]

Anyone used this? It's a transparent 3-d grid. It looks like it could be either really cool or a major pain in the ass.

looks more like a pain - we just use our clear dice containers and put a die next to the fig to signify the height in squares.

I work all day long with a laser cutter and I have been contemplating making grids like this (without the elevation) for awhile. We use tact-tiles now and have loved them for the 6 or so years we have had them. I dont see much use in these - not enough to warrant the cost.

It looks cool, but I'd bet it would end up being a pain.

Between juggling minis on and off the 4x4 base when you move the tower aroung the board, and the fact that you have to take the thing apart to swing a layer around to another angle, I can't imagine that it would end up being more of a help than a hindrance.

Not that they don't have their own problems, but we use 1 inch, clear, plastic storage jars (http://www.internationalcraft.com/acatalog/5stackjar.jpg)

I know they own both of them, but I wonder why they bought the domain for battletier when the thing is called Combat Tier?

Those look cool. Do you know what the name brand of them is?

You'll be able to find them in almost any craft store. I see them all the time in Michaels though I can't find them on their website.

They *look* cool and useful, but having experienced even condition markers slowing down combat, I can't imagine rebuilding the tower each time someone moves. Let alone with several flying/swimming/floating creatures every round.

A cool idea, but a little unworkable for most groups, I think.
