I play Gruntz, where 1 figure equals 1 trooper, and I like to have flexibility in my forces. I might play against someone who has his own minis, or I might play against someone who is using some of my minis.

So, I want to be able to identify squad and force leaders, and I want to be able to change the minis used for them for each game.

I came up with this solution, using magnetic flags:

Looks good. I did not know the War Store made a magnet "kit".

On checking, "kit" is my word. They call it a "pack". link

That's cool. I might try it myself. I wonder about using a small flying "command" drone instead of the flag.

I just colour code the base rims myself. Cheaper than flags n' such.

Great idea!

A fine solution.
