Black September - dirk - 06-26-2025
I’m looking forward to Black September. I still have the laser cut with the PLA counters. Looking forward to using them with this supplement. I hope there’s a download with the PLA counters for the supplement. if not, plloyd1010, could you make a counter set, please.

Funny you should mention that. Several months ago I was working on an expanded PLA counterset, with some input from Dr. Mike. It was to have the PLA eagle, not the Egyptian one they were printed with. The base color was to be some sort of olive green, like PLA uniforms were, but never agreed on what that actually was.
The counterset was to have enough diversity to cover the 20th PLA division scenarios,and counters for the PLA brigades operating out of Syria and Jordan. Here is the manifest of the project:
9x Leaders
27x INF
2x RCN
4x ENG
4x HMG
4x 82mm
4x 57mm AA
3x 85mm AT
4x 25pdr
6x Sherman
4x T34/85
5x BTR152/Truck
Then I got distracted. At present they look like this:

Now, if we could just get rid of the counter clutter, like the unecessary shadows on the Vassal version of the PG counters, they would be much easier to see and use - especially for those of us that are "of an age."
Also, wish that we could see a lighter background color for the Czech units, or maybe, outline the numbers and illustrations (without the dark shadows) with a lighter color. As is, they are almost impossible to see.
