Wargame counters are tiny. That's why a clean font and distinguishable symbols for example are important.

We're trying out different tweaks to the maps and counters to achieve the best visibility and legibility for the new sample that we will order.

We use different colors for different types of dice. There are blue, red, yellow and black ones. This question is specifically about the yellow dice.

echoteamgame.bsky.social @echoteamgame.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
About dice colors: Our homemade yellow dice are quite light and they are marked in white, which is hard to see. One option would be to mark in black instead, but that doesn't look good. To get contrast we'd have to use a darker color. Opinions? Keep the lighter color or make them greenish or orange?

They both liked it. They particularly liked that each player gets a different mission description. We got some suggestions that we might include as optional rules.

At Karota Convention in Kaiserslautern today. A wargame-experienced player as Echo Team and a more casual player as mercenaries. Echo Team secured a narrow victory but more importantly both players had fun.

We are sharing the booth with another publisher and space is limited. A whole scenario might also be too long. But I don't see why we shouldn't play a few rounds.
