Not played a lot of fighting fantasy, but from what I recall they don’t pit a party of adventurers against a mob of minions, a henchman and boss monster.

Some games (and gamers) are more tactical and it helps to have miniatures on the table to give estimates of distance and visualise which targets (and allies) are in an area of effect. Some players lack imagination.

And some games, Cthulhu for example, do not need minitures, especially when the ‘boss monster’ appears… as it usually means the world is about to end and it’s time to kiss your ass goodbye… assuming you want to kiss it after you crapped yourself 🙂
