Cardboard with an icon serves as well - in fact, better, since I can stack chits on it; which can not be done with miniatures.<br />Miniatures are entirely fluff. There is no use which could not be performed as efficiently with drawings or coins or the like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-32828204737387540642011-09-23T02:02:49.261-04:002011-09-23T02:02:49.261-04:00Funny thing is, since I started gaming - and there...Funny thing is, since I started gaming - and there goes 20 years - I NEVER used minis for anything else than to represent marching, if anything. Most of the time the players were represented by pencil marks in plain papers, and nothing else. But I had a lot of painted lead minis (not pre-painted, I did the honors), mostly because when I have a new game at the table, and I say "a Wight strikes at you", and then he retorts "a WHAT?!", I can get the right mini, put at the table and say "here, THIS strikes at you".Petras Furtadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958958741234293383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-13515116678041367922010-04-13T14:33:42.921-04:002010-04-13T14:33:42.921-04:00I like using miniatures a lot.

I've never really understood the aversion that a lot of gamers have towards minis. But for me, painting and using miniatures have always been one the parts of the hobby that I enjoy the most!Chad Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084711824869449643noreply@blogger.com
