[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8373260, member: 6779310"] I mostly use some standard wooden boardgaming bits for use on maps; I print most maps to 1cm grids when I use them... PC's and major NPCs: mini-meeples (I ordered the sampler). Non-unique NPCs: 8mm gaming cubes. (I ordered bags of 10 in a half dozen colors, then numbered them in contrasting paint pen) Mounts, vehicles: 10mm gaming disks (Again, numbered Note that the footprint of the mini-meeples is about 10x12mm; they actually work best on half-inch grids. I've often used 1/2" cardboard counters (I've enough in my SFB collection...), and a few RPGs came with same (FASA-Trek 1E & TFG's Crime Fighter, for example), and I've a number of Character-Scale wargames with counters (EG: Musketeers, Outdoor Survival, one of Yaquinto's album games). I've also used the 3/4" counters in TFT that came with the various elements. I've found the 1" ones in neoTFT are too big for comfort on the tiles from same said big box; the 3/4" ones from original TFT are a MUCH better fit on those tiles. I did use 20mm samurai for an L5R campaign - Zveszda and Caesar brands - and 1"= 6 shaku = 1 ken (≃5' 11.6"). It was very pretty... but not worth the effort. Especially given that my players faced a lot of monsters, and suitable minis were rare. [/QUOTE]
