In Prince Valiant we've used them once or twice for skirmishes between warbands, but not for interpersonal combat. Traveller has rules for range bands, but in the relatively small number of interpersonal combats that have come up in our Traveller campaign, we've only need to track these on paper once or twice.Just as one example of an alternative to grid-based resolutoin: if the rule for engaging another character in melee is win an opposed test on <insert appropriate ability here>, then we can determine whether or not Character A is able to close with and engage Character B without needing a map or grid.</blockquote>
