Since I play both these games (and IABSM) I wanted to have something to represent Shock and Pinned Tokens without dice (I'm not a fan of dice on the table.) I've made 3 different versions with various "Effects" on them to differentiate between a unit just having "Shock Points" or "Pinned with Shock" or "Suppressed with Shock" Bolt Action just requires a number of Pinned markers which are easily represented with dice which is fine for "normal" people but I'm just a little weird about such things. The dials are from the heroclix collection which I bought a ton of at a garage sale last summer. The local Dollar Store also had a bunch reduced. The kids ended up with the mounted characters which worked out well for everone involved. BTW this is not my own idea I did stumble on this some time back and thought it an excellent idea
Shock with Pinned Status
Shock for vehicles/Suppressed status
Pinned Value/Shock Points Only |

Great idea – much better than dice or tokens |

I agree. Dice, tokens, etc. really ruin the look of a game for me. Great job. |

Thanks guys. I have to say I much prefer the look on the table…but I realize for some people its probably a silly thing to worry about I'd like to thank whoever came up with the original idea but I've no idea where I first noticed it :) |

You're such a show-off ;) Always cool looking at your tables, troops, and assorted sundry items such as these. V/R,

LoL…of course I am! But I spend my gaming time making silly things like these and not getting any real gaming in…Your just firing on all fronts with games galore! |

Grey Panda, these are great….I like the bullet splash marker especially. Thanks to jacksarge also for that link above (been wondering where I could get wagons and yard scatter suitable for 20mm). |

Thanks FlyXwire…and yes what an excellent link…I'm drawing up a short list as I type …and its not so short ;) |

Where can we buy the dials form in Australia???? |

WOW that a good one! We use litco Flame and smoke markers for our game MG, Since then we moved to our own similar but artisticaly better (well cheaper and smaller) ;-) 3D printed type. Hoiwever this has a lot of potential if I can find the dials cheap. I wounder If I could print a set of Dials? ;-) |
