I quite like iconic (versus numeric) dice, although I recognize the limits they impose. Grids do a lovely job of solving LOS and making maneuver much quicker--no more agonizing (or watching someone else agonize) over the perfect position or wheeling correctly. Its not for everyone, but it has improved my gaming experience immensely. Even simply stuff like the movement/turn "sticks" in X-wing are a huge improvement.Bob Barnetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164225489620639641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978918096761701249.post-75577265425026571662013-12-27T16:29:28.593-07:002013-12-27T16:29:28.593-07:00My take is that cards are 'in' and tables ...My take is that cards are 'in' and tables are 'out'.
