Does anyone have any suggestions for the above as I haven't been able to find anything on the site.

I'm toying with the idea of using PeterPig dead markers, but not sure what they'd look like with Pendraken. I think that as they are lyign down teh discrepancy in size shouldn't be too noticeable. :-\

Has anyone already tried this? Or something similar?

What rules ?

For Black Powder we use triangles with spots on them to indicate number of hits.

Using PeterPigs Regiment of Foote.

May also dig out some ancient rules I had when I was school if I can find them; Published by Athena I think, remember an owl on the cover with a Royalist looking horseman.

Triangle idea could work but i'm not a big fan of intrusive markers on the table which is why I prefer to use casualty figs if poss, although I know wome people find that a bit iffy.

You can combine the casualty figure with the marker.

I have done some on 1p coins with a small open box to hold a small d6. I have seen others which have a number painted on each side, and you orientate the marker to show the number of casualties.

Are you asking if 15mm casualties would work with Pendraken figures?

Thanks fred; yep, I was asking if 15mm casualty figs would fit in with 10mm Pendrakens standing up;

Perhaps a pretty dumb question...  :-[

No not necessarily - I wondered after I had given you my first answer, whether we were missing the point of your question.

PD casualty figures are either late roman, or AWI (or later) so probably not much use for ECW? But it might be worth asking for a few samples when you next order?

Could you not use some of the more animated Pendraken ECW chaps and modify?
Maybe make a small diorama base and leave a cutout for a D6 to be turned on? I think there is someone producing bases with number spinners in, so you can put a small diorama on top, not sure who it is though.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Think I may go with Jason`s idea and let my imagination roam a little.  If Leon can help with some bases in the futre, all the better :)
