POLL: How important are the minis to you?

Heroscape is a large and dynamic game system with many elements. How much do the miniatures contribute to your enjoyment of the game?

Re: POLL: How important are the minis to you?

I think the minis are what make heroscape heroscape. Without them, I probably wouldn't be playing and it would be just another game to me.

Re: POLL: How important are the minis to you?

I would never play without minis, but if they were all a different "style" or scale I would be ok. But that's only hypothetical, because the minis we have won't change and I want them all to match.

No minis = Boring. What am I supposed to be doing? Moving pieces of paper across a hard built battlefield? Waste of time.

Basically just what yamissflash said. How on earth can paper soldiers fight paper robots and paper orcs?

Fixed.

Disclaimer: Summoner Wars is an incredibly fun, well-crafted game, and I mean no offense by this to Colby or the Summoner Wars crew by comparing it to M:tG. That was not my goal, and may Summoner Wars prosper forever.

I understand that... but I came to Heroscape through the route of playing abstract strategy games. I LIKE the minis, but for me Heroscape is a terrific core set of rules. It is not easy to write rules for such a naturally complicated game that are so consistent and intuitive. The key reason I am not a Warhammer player is I have never seen anyone playing that game without a rulebook on the table beside them. For me, one of the hallmarks of a GREAT game is that you can ultimately absorb the rules so well that you can put the rulebook away and fully immerse yourself in the experience. Heroscape accomplishes this brilliantly!
