Status Markers

[Poor Yorek]

Whilst not asserting that the old-style markers might not be improved, I think they were wholly adequate: visually simple and readily recognizable and distinctive at a glance. I (and Vince - if not others) regularly used the BoB "blue" or "cool-colored" markers to delineate sides as red-team (red M/F and DIS) and blue-team (blue/violet M/F and DIS). Since the DEM only come in black, I simply placed them upside down for one side. Additionally, the lighter brown and darker brown "dug-ins" and ENTs were nice to have for those few scenarios where each side had ENTs (in AK for example) or where both sides might have units dug-in either at start or in-situ.

I would wish that 4th Ed markers sheets come in red/blue team variants - at least for M/F DEM/DIS - and return to a far less "busy" presentation.

PS After an armor-heavy scenario. having a mix of the orange (red) and blue "wrecks" left on the board after the other counters are removed is pretty neat. The battle has moved on, but the wreckage remains ... telling its own story.
