[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4543160, member: 70778"] I have never seen anything other the railway sets to be of any proper scale. That is a gripe I have had for decades, and nobody seems to want to address it because they don't want to get organized and have their sculptors follow standards of heights and such. Aside from that, a floorplan still is not terrain. I think the only thing that has to-scale minis for gaming is Warhammer miniatures, because they actual require LOS, and are made to work with it and actual terrain in mind. I mean thinking about D&D specifically, I wouldn't want a DM that considers the tiles as terrain, because what other things could he be describing wrong during the game as far as other visuals or anything else. They are good visual aids, just not terrain. Just look at mini wargames that bored Gary enough to co-create D&D and you will find what terrain is. I wonder if the new minis form WotC, in light of all the things happening to minis lately, will be to scale since they are using CAD on them and can see a proper scale on the screen to tell if something is too big to stretch or squash it to the proper size. And keep your arms in your own grid square and stop grabbing your neighbor's butt! [/QUOTE]
