Re: Counters wanted

I want them for a couple reasons. First it would be nice to have some to
round out units I, or my opponenet, don't have miniatures for yet.
Second,
they make great "unspotted" markers. Use them upside down then flip them
when they're spotted (and replace with mini). Third, sometimes it's nice
to
play without minis for a quick practice game or when you can't bring
minis
with you. Fourth, counters for units there are no miniatures for like
Hammer's Slammers, Starship Troopers, etc.

The more the colors the better but they should still look good when
printed
in gray scale. Also the more sheets on the most "topics" would be the
better option.

Infantry should be in 1" squares with a full squad and half squad (fire
team) counter. Large vehicles should be 3/4 by 1 1/4" or so for size 4
and
5 vechicles and 1/2" x 1" for size three and smaller vehicles.

Yes the DS2 Future War minis are "vertically challanged". John has a new
line of minis coming out that are great, judging by the new wheeled
vehicles.

If you want a great place to order minis try www.discountgames.com. They
have secure credit card ordering and GREAT prices. I order most of my
stuff
from them and have always had great service. The site is a bit annoying
to
get around until you get used to it.
