I believe FrF did essentially the same with a couple of counters and even included images that you could make your own for the scenario if you wanted to. I liked what they did and I like what HazMo has done here in letting us know there is a counter we might have or we can just approximate it with an existing counter. No need to sell me 2 counter sheets for a few vehicles I might use in a scenario when you can just do a quick SSR in those scenarios.

The Matilda FROG can also be found in counter form and with scenarios featuring it in BFP’s Blood and Jungle.
I think that Will was praising the idea of providing a special rule, without providing a counter.
That said, the BFP Frog is more simple than the HazMo one (no additional rule).

The specs are slightly different, but it's a cool counter!

Used by the Australians against the Japanese, they are nasty beasts.
Blood & Jungle is a wonderful product.
And as it happens, just a few days ago a VASL file (v6.6.10) for BFP65 "Frogs In The Pocket" (using the BFP variant of the Frog) has been added to the ASL Scenario Archive website for download:

If we "tank" that to the logical conclusion, just print out X number of these:

at the proper size and keep a side record.

NOTE: this was a JOKE! :p I don't want to get lynched by the counter mafia.
Is the "counter mafia" composed of those who want more or fewer counters? I want fewer AFVs, and as many infantry units ss designers think necessary.

Good day to you. You may call me Francesco. I offer you to send me your AFV counters under some pretext to lull them in a false sense of security. Promise them to be stored in a superior storage system for example. I will see to it that your offending counters will be encased in concrete and sent to sleep with the fishes. If the price is right...

I hope I have answered your question.
