Regulars will know that I'm a fan of "Fireteam Modern" rules by Rory Crabb, if you haven't checked out this system you need to, they're available from Wargames Vault.
Like a lot of systems they require the use of some markers during games, a set is included to print out with the rules
I printed these out and stuck them to some foam board just to try and as expected I didn't like the look of them on the table so I decided to make my one more scenic versions. Playing the rules it became apparent that 99% of the time I only used 5 of the markers, Activated, Overwatch, Down, Suppressed and Hidden.
I decided on the following plan for the markers all based on 15mm diameter mdf round bases from Warbases.
Activated - Rocks
Overwatch - Magazines or Ammunition boxes
Down - Large grass clump, Falklands Diddle Dee!
Suppressed - Blood
Hidden - Item under cams netting
Here's the result from left to right, Activated, Overwatch, Down, Suppressed and Hidden.
