'2 Armies in a Box' markers.

 


I know I said I was not going to add anything to my "Two Armies in a Box" project , but one of the scenarios in the rulebook needs a marker to bring on reinforcements to a beleaguered force. Now you can just use a counter to track the messengers progress , But I'm not having that ! , so I found a couple of spare cavalry figures in my bits box . I cut off the Union figures sword so it looks like he's waving a dispatch paper and the Confederate - I thought a Trumpeter figure would be apt.

  1. Nice idea Tony, they look perfect - I see you're on target to do the 1000 miles again; well done.

    1. Yes I've got to over 700 miles earlier than usual, perhaps not being a very hot summer has encouraged longer walks for me and the dog.

  2. An admirable addition: they certainly extend the possibilities for other uses.

  3. Great idea and very well executed, they look far better than a counter will look on the table.

    1. Luckily I had a couple of figures spare , if you're going to do something do it proper.

  4. Simple and very effective Tony…
    Also more characterful than a counter…

    All the best. Aly

    1. Yes they look better and it's only two figures added to the box.
