Hi,

I can't find anything about this in the book. A friend of a friend was very concerned about getting some of my used minis, specifically he was worried about getting the activation tokens off me: he viewed the miniatures as potentially worthless without the activation token. I hadn't really thought about it but then I gave them to him. Anyways it got me thinking about playing in stores and lost or damaged tokens in the future, since they're only cardboard. Is there any rule against getting 14 big poker chips and 14 small poker chips, writing "corps", "commander" etc. on one side of the big ones with a sharpie. Then write "activated" on one side of the small ones, and using those? Maybe make 2 sets, use blue ones for Imperial, red for rebels. Not that I'd think twice for home use but in public, is this something people already do? One advantage is, they could rattle around in a dice bag and not get hurt.

I mean, no matter how big your collection gets, you only need 2 commander tokens, 6 corps, etc. for 800 point games.

What you're looking for is in the tournament rules. Specifically, under "tokens":

Typically, players use the cardboard tokens included in official product as indicators. However, players may choose to use other items as indicators, so long as they do not obscure significant component information, are resistant to accidental modification, and their purpose of use is clear to both players. The marshal is responsible for determining the legality of an indicator and its reasonable usage during a match if objected to by its owner’s opponent.

Thanks that would be the sensible approach. Seemed off that an expensive plastic kit could be deleted from one's roster by the death of a proprietary cardboard chit.
