Naval Task Force + Ground Batallion Markers - Any interest?

[IWillNeverGrowUp]

Hey everyone!

Continuing to add to our accessories lineup, is there any interest in a remake of the old A&A Pacific Task Force Markers and a companion Ground Forces Marker?

I could see that being cool. Two big issues, though:

1. They would need a separate place to put the units. A challenge but not a hard one.
2. The big challenge? Where is there a land territory big enough to use those ground troops markers? If there is a land territory big enough, we likely wouldn’t need the markers anyways.

I love the idea, though. Perhaps with smaller ground markers, though.

Hey, yeah, I know about the separate piece for assembling the units (I was going through my spare bits last week which led me to the original markers).

My current solution is a numbered token to match the marker that you place with the units grouping but I’m working on an affordable card solution. Would not be reasonable if there is no interest though.

The ground unit markers are smaller than the naval markers by about 40% (also the Naval markers are smaller than the original already). It may need some reworking still but it’s a thought.

I’ve done some further modifying and reduced the markers down to 32 mm x 32 mm (about 1 1/4 inches square). Anything smaller and it wouldn’t work, but I have a feeling this size could work for most territories, as I imagine there will always be some that are just too small, no matter what, on an OOB game board.

For reference the original task force markers are about 36x48mm (about 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches rectangular).

IF there is interest in this, I’m thinking ca$6.00 per set of 6 (approx us$4.65 right now) but that is not set in stone (could be more, could be less, largely depending on the quantities and the cost of getting the proper cards made).

@IWillNeverGrowUp I like the idea of these at this price amd would definitely buy some

I am interested in both the ground units and the naval task force markers. Those task force markers were some of the best things to come out of A&A Pacific!

Just a quick update, the accompanying cards have been printed and are on their way to me.
I’ve also decided I’ll include half size markers (with no slot for the roundels) to accompany the sets for those even smaller territories.

@IWillNeverGrowUp I like the sound of that!
