"WWI ship 'counters'?" Topic

Does anyone know where I can get 'top down' printable ship counters from? I'd like to give WWI naval a try before I fork out for minis.

Cheers,

You might try the junior general:

Look for "top down". I poked around a little and found some WWII and 18th century stuff. You might have to proxy them.

Look for a used copy of the Avalon Hill game Jutland ?

Seriously, it's basically a miniatures game using cardboard counters – if you could find a cheap copy, might be what you want.

Wargames Vault has War at Sea counters Iirc.

The MJ12 Grand Admiral games include ship counters,mside on though.

Counters like those used in AH Jutland:

Minden Games does excellent naval simulations

if you click on the Great War Salvo booklet, you can get some top down counters; or you could buy some of their games

Check out Avalanch Press great war at sea series. A great game with fantastic looking counters. You almost dont need minatures, infact I use both. Some times I use miniatures on a table but since it is not a major period for me I have a limited amount of GHQ ships, soooo the boardgame fills in. It allows from some intresting scenarios, any thing from troop escort, to bombardment of enemey ports.

As in a previous post Mike's own wargames page. He has thousands of counters he has made up. I have used them for years. cke1st.com/m_games1.htm
I print out the sheets place them on peel and stick floor tiles I get from the local dollar store. This gives them some weight and strength.

Hi Steve, I have some WW1 ships ( 1/3000th scale ) if you fancy a game sometime, I live just a few miles from you at Shotley Bridge.
