After playing my first game of Triumph & Tragedy (T&T) for the Mexican Revolution period, I realized that suppression markers are very important. In some of my larger units I was getting quite a stack of markers that became a bit cumbersome to move with the units. They were also hard to read. I decided I needed something simpler and also more appealing to the game. What would look unobtrusive in Mexico wilderness? Cacti! You can find prickly pear cacti all over the Northern Mexico. Texas, etc...
So, I had previously ordered some from Pegasus for terrain and decided they'd work for this purpose.
A unit of Peons hides behind a hill after suffering the brutal effects of Federale machine gun fire.Each base is numbered 1,2,3 and 4. So you can use 1 or multiples to add up to the current suppression level. I plan to make some "casualties" out of my extra troops and use them for when the unit has reached it's max suppression level.
