MicroSquad, how to mark postures?

Ragnar65 · Post by **Ragnar65** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 1:34 am

Hi guys,

any idea how to mark the fire/move-posture? By now IÂ´m using the following beads for marking groups und stands:

Yellow: Movement Posture
White: Suppressed
Black: Disorganized
Red: already fired

Now MicroSquad knows another posture: fire/move. What do you MS-Players out there use for that?

Regards,

Ragnar65

Ragnar, I use light blue beads. They can be easily distinguished from the other colors, even by the older guys in our little gaming group.

The double post gremlin bit me too. Apologies.

Hey! Forget beads. I'm using #4 nuts--only a 1/4 inch across--that I have painted the colors I need. Looks less feminine/juvenile. Picking them up? Use a weak magnet such as magnitized Philips screw driver bit. If I get the energy, I'll post a pic.

Hey guys,

seems that my thread is infected with the "Double-Post-Virus"...

Anyway, the light blue beads sound good. The nuts-solution sounds pretty good. I have to think about it...

Many thanks for your input,

Here's a promised picture of my markers:

Here's the meaning of the colors I've chosen:
Red - Firing
Black - Target
Yellow - Suppressed
Blue - Disordered
Green - Moving
Not shown: Brown - Counter. I use to keep track of group orders. Set aside the number of orders GHQ can make, expending one for each order.

I advise using a weak magnet to remove the metal markers at the end of each turn:

I'm using a magnetized screwdriver bit. If you use a powerful magnet, you'll lift the base (if metal like mine) and several around it, too!
