I mount 1 fighter on a sytrene post glued on a penny. Then use 6mm dice to represent fighter count and endurance. It is cheap, works well, and you can fit MANY fighters on the table. Just ask the players of the CanAm FT GZGECC game. ----- Brian Bell bkb@beol.net http://www.ftsr.org/ ----- > -----Original Message-----

Subject: [FT] Fighter Counters
I have vague memories of seeing full color counters of fighters, in proper Full Thrust scale, on somebody's web page. Does anyone know who that somebody might be, and where their page might be found? And are there more such graphics available out there somewhere? I prefer using fighter stands -- they look much better -- but I need *lots* of fighters, and it's something of a pain to be maneuvering all those stands around on a crowded table.

I was looking at Brigade's Fighter stand so that I would not have to worry
what die is for what stand. It has a place for the die right on it. Of course
you have a larger stand that way.
Go to http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/ and look under
the 1/3000th Space Ships for "Fighter base type 2".

It's not a huge problem, but it's a slight annoyance. The ancillary problems are that all of my fighters are already mounted three to a stand, and that I don't have anywhere near enough of them. Worst case scenario, I will just use numbered counters of different colors...but something with an attractive graphic on it would be much more visibly appealing.
