Chain of Command requires very little record keeping but I've been trying to find a way to keep track of certain special ammunition – things like HE rounds for the British 2" mortar or flamethrower fuel. Now I know a lot of this can be done with a mental note, but I love miniatures for the aesthetics of it, so I've tried to come up with something practical that looks like it belongs on the table. Too much time on my hands? Perhaps. Here are some markers for 2" HE rounds, man-pack flamethrowers and grenades. Some more info on how I made them here Making Ammunition Markers

Great idea & lovely markers. Remembering that a particular weapon system or figure is low on, or out of, ammo is difficult especially when you are deep in a game with lots going on. Markers are a great idea to keep this in mind. |

Those look great – your games are always a great source of Chain of Command inspiration. The only downside that I can think of is that an opponent can now see an ammunition state which, in reality, he would not know and may play accordingly. I'd probably use them on an off-table chit like the Force Morale table. |

Look great. I've done something similar for my ACW games. Ammo box – for low ammo
Unarmed running solider – unit broken.
Drummer figure – unit Rally
Soldier with flag – unit charging. |
