Grids are a variation davehollin. I think they simplify issues about movement and ranges (albeit the very presence of a grid can create some visually strange issues about combat and ranges) but essentially they make it less likely that there are disputes about angles in shooting or flanking manoeuvres in combats. They can range in intention from skirmish to board game like strategy rather than tactical games, but its often the downsizing (not same as 'dumbing' down) of rules to make then easier to play and a game faster to complete that makes them fun. The original DBA rules booklet was simple in this sense but ground breaking, some off its off shoots, have become complex and not so quick to play. When I see some of the questions raised here I realise that keeping it simple and clear and playable are fine balancing points. CarlL I have a very simple philosophy Carll… …let players decide for themselves which they prefer.
