A swelling impulse

[plloyd1010]

On an impulse last week I made a counterset for gaming friend of what would have been his unit in WW2. Then there was another counterset for another not as friendly but equally respectable guy's unit. Along with the countersets I created Vassal unit extensions. (Once the first is done the other is easy.) No, I'm not giving unit designations or names without permission.

I have 3 motivations for this sort of endeavor. A geeky tribute, because I appreciate what we have here, despite our problems. I think the historical side of gaming should more alive and personal. And lastly, I hope to further inspire members creativity.

Now that I have kind of started, I thought I would extend an offer of counterset/extension creation to any vet, from any army who might want one. All you would need to do is PM/email me and I will look into the possibility. This offer is good for those who may have been enemies at the time too. My motivation would be less about tribute and more of historical enlivening in that case, but the offer is still good.

I am limited to 77 counters on a DIY sheet. These would be WW2 based formations of regiment or battalion size A ww2 linage would be good. I would like to make the countersheets available for all, but won't be doing it without the subject's permission. I also will not use any requestor's name/handle without their permission. I cannot guaranty a successful outcome, only promise an honest attempt. If you would like a counterset of your alma mater, let me know.
