[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2953172, member: 31734"] They come in a box, so when I draw them up ahead of time, I just put them back in the box. It's not difficult at all to arrange them in order (just put them away in some specific order). This also does not accidentally erase the marks on the tiles. Otherwise, in a dungeon-crawl, I do not draw them up ahead of time. It takes only a few seconds for any new room. I either do it during a break, with a suitable cliffhanger, or I predraw major encounters. Or, I provide a sheet of paper with the layout and give the players a few moments to discuss battle plans (if reasonable) while I draw. The moving board is very very useful though, especially when you have limited space and a huge battlefield. The last few weeks, we had combats (I was playing) on a large ship (over 500ft long). Using tact-tiles, it was relatively trivial to 'scroll' the deck as we made our way towards the bow. I can't imagine having such combats otherwise. I still have the poster boards, too, and I was contemplating using them for certain pre-drawn encounters. [/QUOTE]
