COUNTERS - Opp Fire

At last years Broughton game I was talking to Gordon, my fellow umpire, about game aids and one of the things we mentioned was Opportunity Fire counters as sometimes during the big games it is quite hard for players to identify which units Opp Fired so this evening, while waiting for the paint to dry on a Lighthouse for next weekends 'Crisis Point - 1918 Andreivia' game I thought I would make some Opp Fire counters.

So here you go. A Russian VDV BTR-RD and its Opp Fire counter.

    1. Thanks Steve, I did the artwork using Word, then glued it to some mounting card. Once dry I cut them into strips then wrapped them in sellotape to protect them. Then using a sharp knife cut the individual counters out. Really easy if you want some I'll make a load more. This lot took me about 10 mins.

    2. Could you make some to show which units used initiative or evaded an ATGW?
