Any chance of casualty markers to go with the existing ranges?

There are an awful lot knocking around  - C19th has French, Prussian, Austrian and generic (very useful for WWI Russkies). There are also generic dead horses somewhere - very useful for all sorts of cavalry casualties. Lot of C18th casualties in AWI range.

But how does that help with the OCD?

How can you stand to type when the letters don't all end up in alphabetical order, neatly grouped by frequency*.

No good just doing the capital ones....ooh there's a thought do they get grouped entirely separately by frequency, or in front of their small case brethren one-by-one, how about bold, italics, aargh! My dilemma pills are required nurse!

Bump.
Just a reminder for Leon about Napoleonic casualty figures. Basic infantry ones will do, plus a dying general in bicorne in heroic deathbed pose.....

There are ACW ones as well.

Just curious but what do people need casualty markers for and how many casualties are they supposed to represent?

sultanbev

We use them to represent disordered units, it's better asthetically than using card/plastic markers with the word 'Disordered' written on it.

Disorder markers in the ACW, unit integrity markers in FOB2, disorder markers in WWI - better than a chit for aesthetic reasons.

Thanks for the explanation.  I don't used cards or markers so it never occurred to me.

I use them to record how many units each side has lost; breaking morale is an effect of proportion as well as absolute numbers.

Silly question ... but do the casualties move with the units?
