	We used to use them but it requires a wet sponge or towel to
erase.
This isn't a problem at the end of the game but during the game, erasing
a marked off damage system when damage control does it's job can be a
little
tricky.  What most people end up doing is wetting their finger and
erasing
it that way.  Come the end of the game you've got a colored finger.

	Grease pencils rub off easily without wetting that's why we use
them instead.  I suppose it's just a matter of preference though. 
There's
no reason why you couldn't use the water-based marker pens as well.
