Since BlueBell started it, I thought I would copy-cat a little. These are the markers I made for our game play. We, or certainly I, think this is how AP should have made the markers. We've had less marker confusion, and they take less space (compartments).
The markers are solid color on one side to help cover alignment errors. The assault hex markers are intended to be single sided. There are 2 sets of those for double-blind play.
Hope you like them.

LOL at the assault hexes! Made me think of the original Batman TV series fight scenes with "POW," and "BANG" etc.
Thanks.
Of course the motivation was managing huge pile of markers that happen in assault hexes. The inspiration for the marker itself was from cartoons that I watched as a kid. Actually finding a violence cloud was a bit of work. The image is somewhat ill-defined.

I understand ... my "LOL" was simply pleasurable not laughing "at" them. I've used minefield markers (1,2,3) or a die face up to 1, 2, 3, ... as needed (we have a surfeit of dice given that I'm an old-school D&D player).
Didn't the old Andy Capp comics also have a "fight cloud" with fists, legs, and such sticking out (politically incorrect nowadays)? Or this one with Beetle Bailey:

Did you know that Beetle Bailey had a Saturday morning cartoon? I thought about that when making the markers, and the Loonie-toons fights, and ....
There were a lot of them!
love the counters.
I've often thought PzG needs "not spotted" markers more than spotted markers....
I laughed.
plloyd, if it's a trivial thing, can you upload another copy of your assault hex counters except with the set below the white line marked 7 through 12?
I sometimes need more than 6 assault markers and I plan to assemble them as 1-sided counters.
Thanks!
I can knock some out get home. Expect them to be up sometime this weekend.
If AP did a sheet of "utility" markers like these, would people buy it, or is it easier to make your own?
