Hit Markers

After the first test run of the rules, it was clear that a better system of recording hits on units was needed. The use of markers beside units worked ok but ther is always a danger of the markers getting separated from the unit. I came up with a rather neat solution after spotting a pack of small red beads in a Spotlight Store. There are about 100 beads in a pack for $3. Next I bought a pack of brass pins. The pins were then pushed through the styrene base of a stand and then the pin cut to the right length with tin snips.

The end result can be seen in the photos below. The first photo has stands with 3 hits, 1 hit and 0 hits. One stand is on it's side so you can see the head of the pin in the base. It forms a very sturdy and relatively unseen post for the beads to be slid on and off. The pins will be painted brown so they blend in even more.
