Years ago, I made a series of cards, imaginatively printed:
TURN 1 etc.

I think it's all about the look….& this looks very ordinary.

What do others use to count turns? Bought or built.

Knitting row counters (the sort that fit on a knitting needle) – available in the UK in the haberdashery department of John Lewis stores.

Chris – something like that laser cut into MDF would be great!

Spare Heroclix bases can be converted to count anything:

Chris: you've actually found something that makes my current system look hi-tech!

Just a die on the side of the table works for me

I suggest you use the warbases counters… they work equally well as casualty, shock etc.

I painted up some for shock markers for SP2

I usually use a turn record track.

Chris Wimbrow's idea would work well as an app on your smart phone, I think.

I love the wild life on the turn markers, Khusrau: brilliant!

NOW there's a paradigm shift – An Ipad App for Sharpes Practice or Black Powder ?
Anyone find this handy from Battlefield Accesories ?

We take a die that isnt used in the game, usually a D10, and put it somewhere out of each, either along the side of the table outside the "battle area" or on top of a tower :-)
