Title: Zulu Casualty Bases
Post by: Brian Smaller on 24 February 2016, 03:58:01 AM: Anything to get dice off the table. These are bases from Warbases in the UK.

I am a big fan of using casualties and other visually appropriate bits & pieces as replacements for dice, chits, or other "unit status" markers during games. Another useful type for later 19th Century Colonial warfare is ammo boxes.

His painting and terrain-building work is fantastic, and the Zulu War armies and terrain he did a few years ago -- including some great converted camp vignettes using Perry ACW figures, and a bunch of those custom-made ammo and supply elements you refer to -- were among the very best.

It really livens the board up to have figures on it besides the rank & file. In our case we needed them anyway as it was for Hail Ceaser games but whatever the need they do look aesthetically pleasing.
