    Post Maneuver tokens.

    I use these tokens to show the veer values of the maneuver cards used in each game turn. So there is no problem about the maneuver cards used and the ship´s veer rating. I send the cards to the deck of maneuver cards after ships movement. The tokens stay in the ships mats till the next movement phase and so on. There are fire and leak tokens also. So, you can see easily the ship damages on the game mat during the planning phase.

    Nice innovation.

    We started using laminated mats, but we don't have a place to record current veer value - might have to add that. Thanks for the idea.

    Stupid Notion: How about a "veer gauge" -- a half-circle with detents indicating the various Veer values, and a pivoting arm (something like the wind indicators available here) which can be pointed to the appropriate value?

    Have you uploaded your tokens to the 'Files' section, Juan?

    I do not think that your idea of a "veer gauge" is at all stupid, Chris.

    Great idea! I am thinking something like fantasy flight's beloved board game dials (for example Runewars resource dial: https://thurotdotcom.files.wordpress...ords-large.png)

    Sometime after the 5th of Never -- I couldn't make one with my current tools and skill-sets.

    I dont want to steal the Idea from you chris, but I really like it and if you're okay with that I could make the printable template in Photoshops and put it up for download here.

    For anyone interested in producing professional looking counters, have a look at his site

    I cant believe how inexpensive it is if you have the appropriate artwork.

    Great advise Daniel! I glue matte photo paper on Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA).

    This is an exciting find. Thank you, Daniel.

    Once again, I have a fun distraction to keep me from work.

    Thanks Daniel for that nice find. I have some custom dice credit coming from a Kickstarter project I backed. I have lots of options now with the counters and dice and 3D fortifications. Who knows what else might pop up?
