[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4543810, member: 70778"] It isn't that you have to want precision minis, but for years many people have been looking for ONE company to make a uniform standard within its own product line. Measuring inches out in older editions and having a mini well off the map scale makes using minis hard. M&Ms(Skittles) work better, and a reason why actual wargames don't allow for proxy by a smaller piece, but modding must be equal to or greater the size of the original so you don't get an unfair advantage where there is no grid or squares to "lock" your pieces into for placement. Like flanking from 3 sides and still having 3 open sides on the front with hex maps... Plus you can eat what you kill with snack minis. So it is fine if you don't want to worry with minis at all or mix and match minis and snacks, but for those that have helped keep minis alive throughout the video gaming years, then it is high time someone just tried to work to some scale...meaning dwarves should not be taller than humans. :eek: Old Mage Knight minis work good for D&D as well, and were not too bad for scale on the D&D races, but the dang Clix bases are too big for the 1' grid. I would just like to see me game of choice finally get to scale with its self. I don't care what the scale is, but pick one you[they] can maintain. For those wanting to talk to minis people there are plenty of sites from minipainter that Scott mentions to cool mini or not, and a few more, but I don't read Spanish and Russian. [/QUOTE]
