Hey I just saw the message you left me, some times Im just unobservant. I have never used paper figures to game with, however, I have one or two modern paper buildings that I might use. I don't have anything against them they are cheap and you can quickly gather an army, however, I like the more solid 3d look of actual minis even if I am not the best painter. But really thats just a personal preference. Plus you have to consider the cost of ink to print them all out in good quality.
