| | Just a quick tip for anyone wanting to play miniatures chess, it's a good idea to make a list of what is what because it can be confusing. | |

| | They are all good ideas for a chess board. About the only chess I board I ever "made" was one out of legos, and then used different knights and such as the peices. Was pretty happy with it. Will see what I can do with D&DM heh | |

That's because the Halfling Slingers don't stack as well as the Frogs do when you need a King. | |

| | For the Elf team, I would use the Elf Pyromancer as the King, and Elf Spearguards as the Pawns. Drizzt as King, and the Champion of Eilistraee as Queen would be pretty cool too. | |
