The Honor Harrington starship combat game also comes with
cardboard counters (well, boxes actually, with a picture of the
side/top/front etc of the ship on each side of the box).

When we first played Warhammer Fantasy (3rd Edition), we used our
own cardboard counters for our armies, since we couldn't afford
to buy the models. We just scrawled 'Elf' or 'Orc' on each counter
so we knew what it was...
