The main difficulties I have had with miniatures are the space relative
thing. I spend a lot of time telling players that their characters are
somewhere over here, off the map. Ranges seem to be almost innafective
given the huge ranges on some weapons, and it seems overly difficult for
even a well played melee character to close for a strike. Any ideas?
