    Raaco and RitterKrieg trays

    I'm changing my counter storage from Planos to Raaco using the 3D printed trays from Ritterkrieg. Does anyone have a storage plan using these trays? Can you please share? Note I'm using the full trays designed by Ritterkrieg not the 3d printed inserts for the Raaco A65 tray. Thanks!

    I am doing scenario design work and have draft maps in .bmp form. How do I convert these so VASL will read them? I do not need to do the los stuff, just want to be able to use the boards in VASL for design and playtesting.

    Konigsberg counters?

    I see that the board is available for LCP's Konigsberg The Bear's revenge. But how about the counters? I think one can cobble all the counters needed except for the 3-3-6/1-2-6 Volkssturm Squads/ Half-squads.

    AT Minefields set up in J181 The Deadly Line

    In this scenario the Japanese get 2 factors of AT mines. SSR 2 states" An AT minefield set up in 19CC4 may not use HIP." Does this mean I have to set up the AT minefield in 19CC4 or does this mean only if I choose to set up the minefield in 19CC4 it may not use HIP?
