PG is a good game, but its play aids are lacking. I really like the Scenario Information Tracker and Assault Hex pdfs I found at BGG. However, both need customized counters to facillitate their use.
I have created three print-and-play sheets with such counters, and additional counters for OBA. I posted them today to the Files section for PG Eastern Front at BGG. The pdfs are formatted for 4x6 printing labels. Can I post the files to PGHQ?
I am new to PG, so those interested please take a look at my files and provide feedback. For example, do I provide a comprehensive selection of OBA counters? Do I provide enough assaut counters?
The PG OBA will come in handy if you're like me and sometimes forget whether you fired all of it or not.
In urban assault scenarios, I often use a marker in the assault hex and an identical marker off map. I place the units in the assault below the off board marker. I've found this speeds up play when I play solitaire because that lessens the risk of my knocking down a stack. I think that's what you're doing too based on your counters.
I track step losses and victory points in logs so there is no need for me to track them on a chart. The morale information is written on the log so there is no need to track it separately.

Exactly my concern.

Hmm, I think I need to clarify that the left and right sides of the counter sheets are meant to be opposite sides of two-sided counters. Certainly others are free to use them as they like but that is how I intend to print-and-play the counters I created.
