Hello TMP brain trust! Short version: Where do you get your wound dials from as I have a need for some and have never bought them before? I prefer ordering from the USA since shipping from the UK is crazy. Please and thank you. Long version: I have some wargame rules that I like that have units count hits / wounds / status etc.. for example, in Sharpe Practice 2 each unit counts how much shock it has. I've used dice in the past but it's always annoyed me. I'd like to get some of those nifty wound dials made of MDF that you can decorate the tops of with wounded or terrain or what not. I've been looking online but I'd like some recommendations of good ones you have used. I'd especially like it if the numbers where super clear and not just etched into the MDF. USA company preferred just because the shipping from the UK is crazy, but I can man up if needed. please and thank you! -Stew |

amzn.to/30NJMRl Finger ring lap counters. Cheap, lots of different colours to distinguish different counts (or teams), small enough to fit on the board mostly unobtrusively. And they're good up to 9999. So, unless you need more shock … |

Charlie Foxtrot makes nice ones. Reasonably priced. But theyre MDF and he's in the UK. |

thanks for the suggestions everyone. ideally I'd like one that has a white background for the numbers. SOme are very close to what I am thinking but I might be being overly picky. -Stew |
