Excellent idea! This would match well with the following font:

Well, I am still stuck with that question about how many angels can stand on a pinhead...

Bounding Fire Production has two tone colour counters

I wonder what the "Pitman" might say about the TTC?

He hasn't been around here in quite sometime.

After seeing the crap he has to put up with in his day job through twitter, I can understand why he doesn't come here to have to deal with it in his hobby.

I actually like TTC since it makes sorting out the counters much easier.

I am actually experimenting with the development of mutli-tone color counters (MTCCs). I am also experimenting with dotted counters (MTCDCs) you hold up to your eyes and as you slowly move it away it the image is revealed (but only if you concentrate...but not too hard). Sort of like a Seraut. This will be part of my "Fog of War" collection. Is it SPW251 or a Panther? Just concentrate...

Sickkkkkkkk.

If I might suggest, how about multi-tone counters for use with 3D glasses?

Or for those of us who don't like 3D glasses, perhaps this system:

Twice as many counters to clip and sort that way!

Since MMP and BFP are American, it's Color

What about converting all nationalities to two-tone? Then none would be different.

Only two colours should be used [EXC: Zerkers are still red]: Yellow and Blue.

All AFV, Guns, MMC, SMC, & SW are available in Yellow and in Blue. If you are the Attacker, use the Yellow counters. If you are Defender, use the Blue counters.

Easy, peasy.

I suggested that in a previous post, but with red and blue.
We even could shed colours and have white on black vs black on white sides.
A blessing for colour blind players.

Black and Red disks. Play on an 8x8 grid map. Disks may only set up on the colored squares and may only move diagonally with 1 mp.

 

[dlazov]

sounds like checkers - its monochromized ->

Camouflaged

if you drop them on the floor they quickly become camouflaged!

I like the two-tone counters.
