After playing several games I found that tracking RP and SRP's on the map were at times difficult to see. I also found that we sometimes forget to reset our SRP's when moving the Hawk/Dove counter. This could prove disastrous in player operations. We decided to employ our mini-poker chips to monitor our current RP's and save SRP's. We found that this worked very well after we employed this system. It took about a turn or two to get used to it.
After we used this system, we made a conclusion that we need to pimp out our game just one more time. This player mat is the result of our idea of tracking these RP's/SRP's.
Example of Chip /Marker use:
GREEN CHIPS for US/Allies
RED CHIP for NVN
BLACK CHIPS for saved SRP's
Once a Action Card is played, we pull the required RP's and grab a single SRP from our stockpile. As we expend each RP on actions, we toss one chip into our bin.
Once we concluded our turn, we exchange any remaining RP's for a black one which indicates SRP's.
Please leave any feedback!
