I 100% prefer the latter.  If I wanted to fight combats merely for the sake of fighting combats and because combat was the raison d'etre of the game, I'd play Warhammer or Axis & Allies-- not a roleplaying game.  It's in the name after all.  It's called a roleplaying game for a reason, and a tactical miniatures combat simulator with a bit of 'in-character' talking game.</blockquote>
