LOL, Narvik, I hear you! :-D
Custom Token Set from TheDiceTurret.com

I think this is a fantastic idea.
I would definitely include an airbase/naval base instead of factory damage/paratroopers.
I would also, personally, prefer to not have the country name on the markers, just the flag/roundel. I think adding lettering muddles things up and does not look quite as clean.
And yes, separating the flags from the other pieces would for sure be the way to go imo.
-
Maybe we’ll swap the factory damage counters for the Airbase/Naval base token. Could be done.

I would be interested in the factory damage/paratrooper counters and air/naval base counter as well as the Damaged Battleship one side and Damaged Carrier for the other. These would be nice for AA42 with house rules.
-
I love this idea. I would prefer factory damage instead of air/naval bases. I would aalso like marines.

Count me in for the Marines as well.

Has there been any head-way made with this project?

Not sure.
I know it will sell
If it is quality and makes it easier to pick up than those thin tokens, people will buy
Key item in the tokens for all the nations that people complain about ( Canada, france, etc)
Quality will sell
Also people need more of those factory damage tokens.

Litko has told me it will be a couple of weeks after HistoriCON before they will have anything for me. I’m just as anxious as you guys.
I’ll be contacting them again this week to make sure they didn’t forget me. ;-)

I have AA50, and the tokens included in that were great. Wood sounds cool but i would go for the really nice and sturdy cardboard they used in AA50 or plastic. The decals is stupid though the images should be inprinted onto the tokens.
Since of I have AA50 I would only buy it to get the minor country and paratrooper tokens.
I really like the idea of adding marines and air/naval base tokens because AAP40 was missing marines and the air/naval peice counters included with that were crap.
-
The way it looks right now, there will be a few “different” sets that people can get…
1. Country tokens. Probablly the most expensive set as it requires a lot of pieces.
2. Naval and Air Base tokens. Seems to be popular choice as the ones that come with AAP40 suck.
3. Marines / Paratrooper tokens.
4. Battle markers. (my favorite ones)
5. Factory Damage
6. Damaged Capital ship (Battleship/Carrier)Will keep everyone posted.

I prefer a full color plastic decal, so the ink will not rub off. I suspect this would be a clear plastic decal like a window sticker except it has full color roundels. You also get a number of painted wooden tokens in national colors, which make it much easier to pickup.
Using these plastic tokens from Litko is not cheap. If you can find a source for .75 blank plastic tokens in many colors, perhaps it can be a substitute.
The set is a bag of these blank tokens and a decal sheet(s) Its best to just use a plastic bag with a decal on the front and ship in USPS standard box or envelope, which is free

Where? I can’t seem to find them on their website.
-
Battle Tokens are already on the Litko site. I use them now. They are great. We used some from GF9 but were too small.
I haven’t seen the Airbase/Navalbase tokens either.

Heard back from Litko yesterday. They are going over what I had discussed with their rep at Origins. I should have more news before the end of next week he said.
Stay tuned!

Hay guys Fmg is making reel plastic pieces for naval and air bases. so the dice turret shouldn’t make those as plastic counters because lots of people will just wait fmg’s pieces.
-
We probably will wait on those until FMG comes out with their stuff. I didn’t see that in their posts. I thought he was just making the units themselves.
The link to the battle markers is here.

These work great for marking battles. They are the same footprint as a flag token so it doesn’t take up much space on the board. Plus, they are about 2 inches high so they tower over the rest of the pieces.
I’ll try to take a pic tonight to show what it looks like.
Brian
-
Sorry for the delay in pics. Wonderful weekend of 101.1 fever. So much fun….
Anyway. Here you go. I just threw some pieces up with the battle markers to show you scale.
-
Those are awesome, there are so many times that people forgot to resolve a combat until like the next turn :lol:, these should help.
-
WOW!!!
those battle markers are awesome! so great after all these years to see stuff like this to enhanse the AA gaming experience.
