The simplest solution to this is to have a a sheet of paper with a
box marked on it for each unit, and put the relevant counters for
that unit on the unit's box. The downside is that of course you have
to keep cross-referring between the unit on the table and the sheet,
but that's true of any system that does not use on-table markers
(which is of course exactly why we use them in the rules!)  ;-)

Jon,

Don't get me wrong ... I *like* the mechanics of the system.  I'm
just not wild about the paper clutter on the battlefield and am looking
for a way to replace it.  I have played other games where people
have come up with innovative ways to replace their counters with other
symbolic markers, either on the base or as separate miniatures.  

For example, in Crossfire I base a wounded figure on a tiny circular
stand.  When a squad is pinned, I place this miniature next to
them.  It serves the same purpose as a counter but doesn't look as
out of place in the terrain.  I was wondering if anyone had come
up with something like this for DS2.
