To Peter (again),
Have you played with (rather than finish developing) any PG counters with side-on silhouettes of AFV's ?
Probably not I guess. However, I prefer silhouette pictures of tanks on counters. I wouldn't mind the top-down pics on PG counters, but unlike ASL, they don't put them to scale with each other. This means the PzI on the counter picture looks as big if not bigger than the King Tiger.
Any chance you can produce one to picture here just for the fun of it ?
Thanks for the vote of encouragement Vince. I've made suggestions, and offered reworked and new counters to AP before. The reception was rather frost, I was just ignored. So post stuff here and on BGG.
To your second question, yes I have. I presume you want something like PB/PL counters, perhaps with a little more detail & color. I made my
Moved/Fired counters like that. Silhouette graphics are easier to get. Mostly I pulled them out of SP:WaW. I could make a couple for you. What did you have in mind?
I'd definitely like too see this project done. The miniatures game Flames of War range has done a much better job of covering the Axis eastern minors than APL has.
You should submit a design.
These are counters I've made:
| Hungarians I have | Hungarians Hungarians Intended | Romanians I have | Romanians Intended |
| HU AFV Pz38 | HU AC Csaba | RO AA 13p2mm | RO TD TACAM T-60 |
| HU AFV PzIVh | HU AFV Toldi | RO AA 37mm | RO TD TACAM R-2 |
| HU AFV StugIIIg | HU AFV Toldi II | RO AFV FT-17-37 | |
| HU AFV Tiger I | HU AFV Toldi IIA | RO AFV FT-17mg | |
| HU AFV Turan | HU TD Nimrod | RO AFV TA | |
| HU AFV Turan II | HU AFV Zrinyi | RO ART 100mm | |
| HU TD HetzerI | HU AFV PzIVe | RO ART 105mm | |
| Mountain Troops | RO ART 75mm | |
| HU CAV | RO AT 37mm | |
| HU MTC | RO HMG Bdr | |
| HU Artillery, AT & AA guns | RO IG 37mm | |
| | RO INF Bdr | |
I'm sure my notation code isn't too hard to decipher.
All this stuff is awesome. Minor countries rock!
Peter,
Nothing in mind, I was just wondering what a proper combat counter or two would look like using side on pics rather than top-down. I don't know if you'd have to move the counter values for such a case ?
I'll see if I can knock out a couple over lunch. It shouldn't be too hard as there is a lot of space in the middle of the counters.
