Casualty markers have become an important part of my gaming experience. Here's why.

I like seeing where on the game board the casualties occurred. I drop a marker every time a stand is lost.
I have heavy paper markers with painted men on them

Same same with my 20mm ACW. It an added feature to the visual effects on the tabletop.

I like the idea of putting down a casualty marker every time a stand is lost, bodies don't just police themselves up.

Great ideas. One of the things that most impressed me about F & F ACW was its' use of stands to denote status of troops' Losses are good use of casualty figures.

Put a 28mm WW1 trench game on at Historicon one year. We bought and painted 3 bags each of casualties for both sides. The game was so bloody we ran out of casualties half way into the game. The game did look aw-sum!

Duke, I use them also.

This looks good, and like the way the contested ground and frontage is filled out (pic from the linked article).

Painting casualty markers is a dying art.
