Do you use miniatures or counters to resolve combat?

We usually use miniatures, and when we don't have a miniature for the particular creature we're fighting, we use counters.

Hm, you don't exactly have the option I would choose, and that's "Whatever is handy." If I have approriate miniatures (or even close proximities) I'll use those, if not, tokens, beads, coins, dice, etc...

I voted for miniatures but we use counters in one group. My other group has only started using minis recently. Before that we just used dice.

So, I would say we use all of the above.

Don't have an option that works for me (Normally nothing, but somtimes whatever we can come up with (dice, coins, etc) if a combat is really really tricky.).

cheap, plastic minis out of the First Quest boxes for PCs, and a combo of Creature Collection 1 & 2 from FDP and DragonScale counters for NPCs and monsters.

We're looking to upgrade to metal minis. One of the guys in the group is offering to paint, as I lack the time, talent, and money to get into that.

The poll needs to be multiple choice.

When we use representative tokens at all, the PCs always use minis. The DM uses minis, counters, or occasionally dice or coins as needed.

But sometimes I don't use anything. You really don't need position representation until things get complicated.

Does the "or whatever" option include "all of the above?"

 

[Tonguez]

We use Imagination

Does the "or whatever" option include "all of the above?"

my question too. we use whatever is on hand. which includes all of the above.
