[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 5638126, member: 23977"] I can understand a little bit of what he's saying. Most of the other parts of the game exist solely withing your head-space; something happens, and maybe there's a die roll or something, or maybe a small picture is drawn to clarify something, but for the most part, something is described, and then the action and resolutions are described in turn, and we continue as we go. Mini combat generally involves more "pause" time, especially with the more elaborate setups. The game is "paused" the setup takes place, and then a lot of the action takes place on the battle mat. For some it's jarring- especially if the "scene in their head" doesn't quite match the one on the board. (And I don't know about you, but minis almost never perfectly match what I'm seeing in my head as to how characters look...) In a way it's kind of like reading a book for one chapter, then popping in the DVD for the next, then going back to the book. This doesn't make it bad, or wrong, nor is it an issue everyone has.
