Chris - Well, OK. I'll grant that there's probably dirt-cheap sources for miniatures out there. I understand that many gamers want some sort of semi-realistic...
Yeah, I agree CH, if you didn't use minis in 3/4e, you'd not save any time. I've done this before, and the scenario played out exactly as you hypothesize....
