Planning for a battle in a roleplaying game can be as much, if not more, fun than the battle itself. As a GM, you have to make sure you allocate plenty of time for the players to make their intricate plans and get all excited by the prospects of epic combat and hard-fought victory before you actually start rolling dice and stopping to check if that +2 attack modifier counts in an off-balance situation when performing a flank attack against a defender with Enhanced Senses, if the light is no better than moonlight.

Yeah. Better just to think about how much fun it will be.
