Hi all,

I've put together some paper makeers for tracking ships in combat. Hopefully someone finds them useful

Those markers are nice, but for the real fun you want to get your hands on some Battlefleet Gothic models from GW. But those papermarkers should work, too.

I dunno about that, I considered it but found the BFG miniatures don't work as well if you use a grid of VUs. Ships can be more than 1 inch long, poking them into other VUs, and the rules allow you to share VUs with other ships, impossible with miniatures on flying-bases.

The BFG terrain is out too, the two games are on a completely different scale. The earth-like planets are abour five times too large.

Don't use the ship as a marker for it's position but the pin of it's base and everything works great.

I like the paper markers, it seems like you're watching a tactical screem on the bridge!

BFG models are great too, but I don't think my screens are so refined and powerful enough to show the real image of ships nearby...

I'd like to use them (liked what I saw in the sample image), but the download link on the page does not work.

Get a HEX mat. They come in black even for a more outer space feel. Not to mention, movement and firing arcs are more realistic. Grids are for 1980's D&D. Grids were the biggest game design failure of Space Fleet. (That and the dorky dropping dice into the tic-tac-toe box lid...)
