Water-soluble markers for Battlemap?

[Pbartender]

Since I first got my chessex battlemap about 15 years ago I've always used the Staedtler water soluble (sp?), non-permanent markers with it. My brown and green recently ran out so I went looking to buy new ones. To my shock and dismay, I have found that almost every store no longer sells the pens individually but only sells them in packs of 6 or 7 (all the colours of the rainbow). Well, I don't want to pay for an entire pack b/c I only want brown and green (they also sell black in 2-packs, but I've got plenty of those). In my hunt, I discovered that several stores said individual pen sales have been discontinued. Going to Staedtler's website reveals that brown pens are no longer featured at all and the others all come in packs.

If want some real cheap Steadtler markers, you could always check your office supply, uh... cabinet, um... at work...



But you didn't hear that from me.

Just make certain you get the grey water-soluble markers, and not the black permanent markers.

Also, Staedtler makes some "CD Markers" in the grey barrels, which are permanent. They are identical to the wet-erase markers, except for saying "Permanent" on them. My buddy found out the hard way. So watch out.
