Re: Are Minatures or maps required for gurps?
GURPS is the one system where I can run combat either with complely narrative positions or strict hex grids and both feel perfectly fulfilling.
In my current campaign, I can build full sets for some encounters and run others without so much as a sketch of the area, during the same stretch of dungeon - I've even switched between the two in the middle of a fight. transistioning between the two is extremely smooth.
There is nothing wrong with using miniatures in GURPS, but it's first and foremost a matter of preference, not of necessity.
My campaign blog has some pictures showing off miniatures use in GURPS, although I'm using square grids: archonshiva.com/blog/spire
