Cohesion Markers

I made some special cohesion markers for my 10mm Classical Indian army. I took a pack of swordsmen from the Magister Militum line, removed them from their base and cut their swords off then pressed the figure into some green stuff spread over a penny. Then I made a javalin out of a clipped straight pin. I painted it up and painted the sides different colors to represents different states of cohesion. I'm pretty happy with the result. I may get crushed in the small tournament we are running in Austin, Tx next week, but it least my boys will get fragmented and routed in style :twisted:

Very good idea, very inspiring. I will try to do the same with my 15mm. Thanks

Steve Payne gave me an excellent idea regarding the use of these markers. He uses a counter which he can flip to help him keep track of which units are eligible to attempt to recover cohesion during a given JAP. I am now using a variation on that theme. When I blow a cohesion test, I put down two markers instead of one. On the next JAP, I remove one of the markers. On the following JAP that unit only has one marker so I know it is eligible to attempt a rally (assuming the general is around of course :P )
