Thanks for visiting our club and having a look around, there is a lot to see. Why not consider becoming a member?

The Island Wars (Onion Wars -style Mega Campaign)

I've been dabbling with this again... I believe I may have refined the counter and casualty-tracking system using 'pips' on the counters (either infantry company-sized or vehicle platoons) representing either intact infantry platoons or organic support weapons (HvyMG, Med Mortars and AT guns) or individual vehicles/guns in the smaller vehicle platoon counters.

Played in CMFI set in Sept 1943 -- British vs German representing the fictional nations... sharing an island and fighting a war with limited forces of a few battalions each...

A quick sample snapshot...

The Southern 1. Kompanie, PzGr Btn 10, with two panzer platoons and Btn HQ arty in support, attacks the Northern dug in A Company, The Border Regt...
 
Some experimentation looking at the counters on different screens, flagged some potential issues with colour contrasts making the colours of pips hard to see.

So had a rethink, resized the counters slightly... and decided to go with small numbers below (or next to) the unit type symbol for the support units.

Pips remain in use for rifle platoons and vehicle units.
