Custom Token Set from TheDiceTurret.com

Litko has told me it will be a couple of weeks after HistoriCON before they will have anything for me. I’m just as anxious as you guys.
I’ll be contacting them again this week to make sure they didn’t forget me. ;-)

I have AA50, and the tokens included in that were great. Wood sounds cool but i would go for the really nice and sturdy cardboard they used in AA50 or plastic. The decals is stupid though the images should be inprinted onto the tokens.
Since of I have AA50 I would only buy it to get the minor country and paratrooper tokens.
I really like the idea of adding marines and air/naval base tokens because AAP40 was missing marines and the air/naval peice counters included with that were crap.
-
The way it looks right now, there will be a few “different” sets that people can get…
1. Country tokens. Probablly the most expensive set as it requires a lot of pieces.
2. Naval and Air Base tokens. Seems to be popular choice as the ones that come with AAP40 suck.
3. Marines / Paratrooper tokens.
4. Battle markers. (my favorite ones)
5. Factory Damage
6. Damaged Capital ship (Battleship/Carrier)Will keep everyone posted.

what will battle markers looks like? I suppose you place them whereever you are conducting combat?
-
LITKO already has airbase & naval tokens.

I prefer a full color plastic decal, so the ink will not rub off. I suspect this would be a clear plastic decal like a window sticker except it has full color roundels. You also get a number of painted wooden tokens in national colors, which make it much easier to pickup.
Using these plastic tokens from Litko is not cheap. If you can find a source for .75 blank plastic tokens in many colors, perhaps it can be a substitute.
The set is a bag of these blank tokens and a decal sheet(s) Its best to just use a plastic bag with a decal on the front and ship in USPS standard box or envelope, which is free

Where? I can’t seem to find them on their website.
-
Battle Tokens are already on the Litko site. I use them now. They are great. We used some from GF9 but were too small.
I haven’t seen the Airbase/Navalbase tokens either.

Heard back from Litko yesterday. They are going over what I had discussed with their rep at Origins. I should have more news before the end of next week he said.
Stay tuned!

Hay guys Fmg is making reel plastic pieces for naval and air bases. so the dice turret shouldn’t make those as plastic counters because lots of people will just wait fmg’s pieces.
-
We probably will wait on those until FMG comes out with their stuff. I didn’t see that in their posts. I thought he was just making the units themselves.
The link to the battle markers is here.

These work great for marking battles. They are the same footprint as a flag token so it doesn’t take up much space on the board. Plus, they are about 2 inches high so they tower over the rest of the pieces.
I’ll try to take a pic tonight to show what it looks like.

Sorry for the delay in pics. Wonderful weekend of 101.1 fever. So much fun….
Anyway. Here you go. I just threw some pieces up with the battle markers to show you scale.
-
Those are awesome, there are so many times that people forgot to resolve a combat until like the next turn :lol:, these should help.
-
WOW!!!
those battle markers are awesome! so great after all these years to see stuff like this to enhanse the AA gaming experience. -
Excellent markers! Has there been any progress regarding the airfields/naval bases? Also, have you guys considered doing AA & IC markers, since this seems to be the trend in the A&A games?
-
No flag tokens yet. That’s what I’m working on now. I also didn’t find the Naval Base/ Airfield token that someone had mentioned.
I got a message last week about what I would like to get done and they said I should hear back from them this coming week sometime.
Hopefully soon.

I haven’t heard anything on this project in a bit. So, I was just curious where do things stand?

Hey docfav7,
Thanks for the link to Litko. I just ordered some of the Mini Blast Markers for marking battles. Not the same as your fire/smoke column but I think these will work fine for me. Usually I have no problem remembering where a battle is, but there are sometimes, like when Japan or Germany is really on the march, they could have a half dozen battles in one turn. It will be nice to have the markers there when I take all the pieces to the battle board. -
Those battle markers look awesome!
Also, I’ll definitely buy a few sets of flag markers when they are released
-
when can we expect the flag tokens?
