I got round to scratch building a load of flight stands for Bag the Hun today, designed to complement the hex mat that I got for Xmas last year, which gives you some idea of how long that job has been hanging around. They're nothing special and not quite right but will do the job, with a double dice frame to show altitude in blue and aircraft identity in red, green, yellow or white. It's a simple and cheap way to make it easier to track which aircraft is which and to keep a handle on positioning. Tally Ho!
Would a color coded dots/stripes (1, 2 or 3 or more) not have the same result without having to add another die? But that would possibly mean having to make more bases vs just buying more dice.
ReplyDeleteYep, I tried that and it wasn't visible enough, so players ended up having to pick up the flight stands mid game.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you don't want that. Understandable.
