Re: TABLETOP DEBRIS

I intend to mount my models on metal bases and use disks of magnetic
sheet that I've punched out using a paper-punch as the markers.  (Geohex
sells metal bases of varyied sizes.)

The disks can be labeled and color-coded to replace the chits.	If you
buy a roll of the flexible magnetic sheets that has adhesive backing,
you can print out a sheet with colors and markings you want, put the
magnetic material on the back of it, then punch out your markers.  That
will save the time/hassle of punching out the markers, then going back
and labeling the fiddly little things...
