There's nothing of detail lost in DW's depictions of combat. Played both games, stating it as a fact, they both are designed to be played as purely narrative combat with only a general idea of the geography of the field of battle being provided. And of the three 5e campaigns I've played in to at least 10th level, 2 of them never used any maps at all. The third was played online using roll20, and we did have maps for, I would say, the majority of the fights in that game. So clearly 5e is perfectly capable of being, and is frequently, maybe normally, played without formal battle maps.</blockquote>
