Default Counters

Mark,

How many counters are expected on game release, and how many are on percentage SMC/MMC/Crews/Armors vs info counters?

What's the highest number of units that can be involved in a scenario?

I think it would be cool to have more counters available for scenario creation later on...

By the way, counters look great!

Default Re: Counters

Hi Stephano,

The game ships with 289 counters. 95 of those counters are admin markers. The unit counters include 8 helicopters (Huey slicks and gunships), 18 vehicles (M-48, M-113 (USA and ARVN), M-41, PT-76, and Ontos),6 Weapon Teams (75mm RR, 12.7mm, 60mm Mortar), and the rest are support weapons (M-60, BAR, RPD, RPGs, Bazookas, LAWS, Claymores, Flamethrowers), squads/half-squads, and single-man counters (Leaders, Heroes, Medics, Snipers, Chaplains, Advidors).

You can design scenarios up to a battalion (-) if you combine VC/NVA, but most large scenarios in the game are company (+).

More counters will be available in subsequent modules.

Best,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply....it's surely a hell of a game, can't wait to have it! Graphically, it's the best game I've seen so far.

I asked about the counters for a practical purpose, I have played games with tens of squads with admin counters running out very fast (unless you stack a lot). I think that we could get them out of the demo pdf file, if needed.

Yeah, Stephano. That's also a concern of ours. I hope we included the best proportions of all counters in the mix.

Best,
Mark

Are these modules the planned ones for other periods? Or will there be more Boards and counters specifically for Vietnam?

Yes to both questions, Chris.
