It helps to have models laid out to show the scale and relationships between objects during a major battle sequence in a game. The main problem is that most GMs won't have a suitably large collection of model miniatures for every situation. So you can make do with substitutions. And what do all gamers have handy when playing? Snacks!

This does have its own drawbacks, of course. Some of which might not be anticipated by everyone.
