Throughout our 18 years of playing 1st Edition, 2nd Edition, and 3rd Edition - we only played with minis during 3E games. Before that, we would always use narrative combat with a rough pencil sketch for visualization.As someone mentioned above, most of my favorite combat memories come from those games. Who knows why, I guess I get a certain imagination detachment when I look at a 4" tall Dragon.....Ooooooh Scarrrrry!Then again, combat with miniatures gives the players a lot of options, and makes visualization of the 'combat situation' much easier.Saturday, I am going to run the smaller skirmishes by keeping track of everything on graph paper behind the DM Screen.....I'll narrate to the players, answer any questions (Can I move into a flanking position beside that Bugbear ? How far am I from the door ? If I cast a spell will that Troll be able to take a free swing at me ?), then move the game along.....I want to see how they like that.For a couple of the major scenes, I'm going to use Master Maze stuff and minis......I think it will work well, but we'll see. I will post up a report after the game.</blockquote>
