Battlegroup Kursk Tokens?
« on: August 31, 2017, 03:10:03 PM »
For those who play Battlegroup, what additional tokens do you find necessary?  I'm doing up some custom colour tokens for the slow future start of my early war Russia project.

I've got the standard 96 tokens for the draw bag, but I've played Battlegroup at my buddy's place enough to know that some other ones are useful.  I've done up:

-Pinned
-Ambush Fire
-Reserve Move

What else do you find useful?  Are vehicle status tokens (immobilized, destroyed, out-of-ammo, etc.) necessary?  I've seen other sets which include spotted tokens, etc.  I've got some spare space on the slugs I'm having printed.

There are some sets of MDF tokens on eBay for Battlegroup - might be worth a look.

I think you have the main ones covered.

You need something to mark desrtroyed vehicles - we tend to use cotton stuffing 'smoke'. The others aren't generally needed, as they tend to happen from the tokens from the draw bag.

Yeah, I ended up designing a full colour Russian-themed set of tokens including:

+ The 96 required tokens for the main Battlegroup draw bag
+ Pinned
+ Ambush
+ Immobilized
+ Out of Ammo
+ Reserve Move
+ Spotted
+ Reversible Russian/German objective markers (flip to the face of the side controlling it, etc.)

I'll post pictures when they show up.  I used a Russian-esque propaganda font, the main 96 tokens have a red star on one side with the token face opposite.  I used a silhouette of an IL-2 for the air support tokens, etc.  The other basic tokens are all double sided so you get more tokens for your money.

While I don't plan on playing anything beyond Russians for the foreseeable future I may end up designing some alternate sets for various armies if people are interested in them.
