There will be some changes coming around the 1st as well, but I'll know more about that as details are sorted out and deals made. So check back and see what all the new things that are coming!
Update 07/10/2010 : Turn Marker for LaSalle Gaming sytem is now available. This little handy tool is an easy way to keep track of turns for LaSalle as well as the phases of a given turn. These are awesome to use in larger, multiplayer games. It keeps everyone on the same page.
It is approx. 6 inches in length, 2 inches wide. It is laser cut to perfection and has everything etched in as well. The pegs (which are gray plastic) are also included.
Update 05/10/2010 : 20mm dials are now available! After a few hours of trial and error, they are ready to go. They are in limited quantities as of right now, but more are on order.
and what would it be without a comparison shot.
I have also changed the layout of the site completely. The dials are now completely customizable. That means that you can pick any outer facing (ie flag) and put any inner dial that you want together. That allows you to build a dial for just about anything that you need or want. If I don't have a outer facing that suits your needs, contact me and we'll work together and get what you want. Blank dials are now also available to allow you to completely make anything that your heart desires.
As always, if there is anything that I can for you, my guest, please let me know and I will do my best to get what you want done.
Sincerely,
Steve

So what are these 'Dials' that you speak of? Explain them to me, you ask. Gladly!
These are 28mm round disc that come in two pieces. The top is cut with a wedge/window cut in to it. The bottom houses the orders/numbers that appear thru the window of the of the top disc. How are these held together? Quite simply, magnetic force.
The artwork that goes with these are geared towards a specific gaming system. Whether it be Napoleonics, ACW, or just a generic green, they make any table more pleasing as you don't have a stack of counters laying around or dice that you put next to a unit to keep track of hits. Function and beauty all rolled into one!
Below is a sample of set of 5 dials that are compatible with the Johnny Reb gaming system. They are the 1863 version for the Union.
And this just in from a customer, Milt Koger. This shows how well the dials terrain up. These are the standard 1-10 dial that he customized for use of keeping track of casualties.
Thanks Milt!
