I just zoom in to a room sized level to play out the fights using tokens. I agree its hard not to be a slave to the grid but to me it makes battle resolution move much faster as well as for keeping track of movement and distance..The Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13670101962259531452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-40826822607956196932012-04-30T17:07:29.096-04:002012-04-30T17:07:29.096-04:00Grumpy even.

We use mini-lite rules. Basically movement, flanking, etc. but that's pretty much it. We don't allow it to go over take the game.<br><br>I think you are specifically talking WotC mini rules, is that right?
