I'm sure this has been asked a million times, my apologies for the redundancy. However I couldn't find any specific threads or posts that talk about it. I usually make my own tokens for wargames, with wooden discs and other generic shapes. So for Black Powder I assume I would need things like "Disordered", "Routed", "Shaken", etc? I already bought several packs of Kallistra's casualty figures which I will glue to small round bases to use for casualty markers. Any other types of markers that would be essential for the game? |

That should pretty much cover it – good gaming! |

If you will be doing 18th-century battles, or otherwise featuring well-drilled troops like British regulars, some "First Fire" markers will also come in handy. |

"Brigade Broken" would be useful. It would be placed by the brigade commander and kept next to that figure. You don't need a "Routed" marker. BP uses the term "Broken" and such units are immediately removed from the table so no need to mark them. "Hit by Artillery -1" and "Hit by Artillery -2" could be useful to remind people for applying the correct die roll modifier. Your casualty markers should be used to denote hits on a unit. I agree with Eumelus that "First Fire" markers would be helpful. |
