You can get these notes in a variety of colours as well so they could almost be camouflaged.<br /><br />I have something in mind I will be using in any event for casualty markers.<br /><br />I have a supply of the double sided travel Othello counters which are black one side and white the other. They are slightly smaller than a 5p piece so are not too obtrusive deployed on a base.<br /><br />You can see them in use in some of my block based games.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DC David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-4060974413634900372018-09-20T08:54:58.897+01:002018-09-20T08:54:58.897+01:00David,

I rather like the idea of keeping units on the table until they have dissolved - you have given me something to think about!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-46502813001877844622018-09-18T06:03:40.689+01:002018-09-18T06:03:40.689+01:00Sounds like a plan Dave!

The advantages are that they are relatively unobtrusive, they follow the unit as it moves, and involve no paperwork. We removed the entire unit (usually 3 stands of 3 figures for infantry) only after it broke, so that the stands still indicated its formation.Charles Litkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182265039055575093noreply@blogger.com
