Level Specific Rubble Counters

[JimWhite]

Ok...here is an attempt to make some Stone Rubble counters on level specific color counters.

Pretty rough I know...but any thoughts/suggestions on these?

Like maybe don't quit my day job...

I made these for Festung Budapest. I would try for something like this instead of the glob of yellow.

Why not keep the original counter but adding a label similar to the naming of leaders so that one can write LVL 1, LVL 2 etc wihin the counter art?

Sorry, I should have indicated I made these for FtF play. They are similar to some that Bounding Fire released I believe, with the level color ringing the outside. These are paper so they can go under the plexi to get rid of too many counters on board. I only posted them because I thought the ring of color idea was good. Better than coloring the entire rubble.

That would me my approach for the purposes of VASL.

Really? A label on a Rubble counter is easier to see with high counter density than a counter with the level color on the edges? The color is universally recognized as building level x.

I am not saying that other solutions may be thinkable, conceivably even better. But upper level rubble is pretty rare in the average game.

In VASL, it does not make much of a difference because of the mouse-over function.

In cardboard, the rubble counter will be placed above the level counter. As there can be no rubble in different levels of a building, the level counters of levels beneath the rubble will be visible by their color-code except if you had 5/8"counters in upper fortified building locations. So, for indentification purposes, it does hardly make any difference in practice. However, color-coded rubble by level could reduce counter clutter by one 5/8" level counter which would otherwise be placed directly beneath the rubble counter.
