To my surprise, the only item in stock that I would consider useful for wargaming are these wooden discs.

Laser Wood Discs

The pack is labeled 4 Laser Wooden Discs and retails for $1.99 USD. Made in China.

I also checked the company website, and I found their search engine to be terrible. I could not find the 3.1" discs, so perhaps they have been discontinued. I could, however, find 3 7/16" discs, as well as some bagged sets of miscellaneous discs and rectangles (exact sizes not stated).
