Grenade tokens anywhere?
« on: November 22, 2024, 03:54:52 PM »
I am playing a Vietnam scenario with the excellent One-Hour Skirmish Wargames ruleset. To minimize bookkeeping I would like to have some tokens in plastic or card to represent the hand grenades carried by the different soldiers. Preferably small circular ones. Are there any such commercial ones? or some that you can print-out and fix on card? Grateful for any help!

For a Twilight 2000 campaign I've run, I used these acrylic tokens from Litko; they're nice, sturdy and have since been relegated to general duty, for when grenade (and reload) tokens are required :)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I use them instead of record keeping. Player has to hand one over when they throw a grenade.

Exactly that.

And I do the same with ammo. They get a wooden magazine with actual shell casings, and each shot fired, they get to throw a casing into a metal ammo box.

Mag empty? They can exchange a reload token for an actual reload. Works especially well with larger parties...  :)
