[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4976882, member: 66434"] I didn't have or use minis when I first started playing. We drew marching orders and door opening positions on graph paper. We played sitting around on a carpeted floor in those days so a battle board wouldn't have worked out so well. Around 1988 or so I moved up to a place that had a local hobby shop so I started collecting and painting minis. We started using them in our games around that time, it was 1E AD&D. We have used minis in our games since then no matter what the system was because they looked cool and kids like to play with thier toys.:lol: As far as tactical "requirements" are concerned, the D&D rules of any edition require no minis or battle board. The level of precision and exact spacial simulation are decided by those playing. If the group isn't overly concerned with tactical matters everything runs fine without so much as a marker. Those that get the most enjoyment out of precisely defined tactical maneuvers will be the ones claiming that minis or maps are required. [/QUOTE]
