BLB2 Test game 2

[yar68]

Last week at Reject HQ, we had another test game of Beneath the Lily Banners. I’ve posted a short batrep on my blog.

Ray,
Very nice! Thank for sharing. What do you use to track hits on a unit?

Hi Greg, we use the little dice in the picture below.
They're small enough not to spoil the look of the game.

Ray,
Ok, always looking what other folks are using...what about that orange stick? A cheeto?

[yar68]

LOL!!! No if they were Cheetos, they wouldn't last very long! Over here in the UK we call Cheetos, Wotsits?? They are actually pipe cleaners cut up and used to represent disorder, shaken, rout or whatever you want.

Ray,
I guess I shouldn't be hungry when looking through posts...I use casualty figures on fender washers as markers.

I also have MS Powerpoint sheets I made to mark off hits, first fire, unit data and flag recognition to track my units on the table. I figure since I like having a flag on everything, I would add them to the ORBAT tracker...helps other members of our group who's not as in-tune with the period to easily recognized units under their command. If interested, let me know and I can send.

We've got a similar thing made up, its very simple, just to track our movement percentages and ratings, I do plan to tart it up a little then post it on my blog. I like the idea of the flag marker page, some of our gang will definitely have trouble recognising what troops are what, I'd be very interested in you file

Ray,
Just sent you an e-mail. ORBAT is for the BLB scenario - Crossing the Shannon.

I have casualty bases that I use. I'll see if I can figure out how to post a picture of one. It's a base that holds a casualty figure and has a cut out that holds two dice so you can count 0-36 with two six sided dice - if you remember base 6 from your school days.
