Games Without Miniatures
Weapon ranges, character and vehicle movement rates, and even the templates are all based on using figures on a table-top. That’s why they’re measured in inches rather than yards, miles-per-hour, and so on.

Using Miniatures
The rules are written for the table-top because that requires exact measurements and precise rules. That’s why all the weapon ranges and movement values are listed in inches (rather than yards or some other unit). Using miniatures and terrain or a battle-mat can really help your players understand the tactical situation and better interact with their environment, and we highly recommend this style of play for most games.
