In that respect, either squares or meters is six and one-half-dozen kind of complaint; People on both sides can argue the same.Second, the rules clarify how to measure the important details on a board (from where to where, burst always targets the "cross-hairs" of the squares, etc.), which is good. That's not something that many new players are familiar with. If they WANT to use miniatures, they should know how. If you don't want to, then ignore and skip to the next paragraph.Third, Any group who decides to not use miniatures would decide those line-of-sight and grid related details on the fly anyway ("You see the trooper, and can take a shot from where you are"). The largest problem you've presented is that you have to mentally double the movement in squares to get distance. Determining what anything is x1.5 to get Meters is easy-peasy.Fourth, miniatures are cool.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> No one is forcing you buy them, but if it gives a boost to RPG sales because the miniatures are cool and they make more money, we get more support as a SW RPG community and more potential players to play RPGs with. Everyone wins.Fifth, I like lists.I'm just not seeing a down side enough to make it even worth complaining about, unless that was just your way of saying "You whipper snappers should stay off my lawn with your crazy miniature people!" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
