Seems not to be true for all players. Even in this thread there are players who would use move/advance counters. So, that's not a low percentage of players. If you extrapolate this ..
Why are you assuming that the "few" people responding in this thread that most players don't need these aids
are only talking about themselves? I've been playing ASL for the best part of 30 years, including attending many tournaments over this period. I've never seen a single person require such markers, or
at worst were not otherwise able to make do by rotating the counters etc. The others responding in this thread pointing out that your problem is not a real-world problem have also been seen at many tournaments over many years and have the same tale to tell.
Again. You cannot know if there are only a very few people who would use the counters. It is only Your experience, not more.
No, it's
your experience, and not more. How many players, apart from yourself, have you personally witnessed being unable to function without cobbling up some form of movement counters? How long have you been playing the game? How many games of ASL would you say you have under your belt?
When your experience matches the combined experience of the rest of us, please raise the topic again.
The use of move/advance counters could be optional. If You don't want to use it, then don't use it. What's the problem?
The problem is that you want MMP to spend money to print them, and thus force everyone else to spend money to buy them (if they come with another product) or cause MMP to lose a shitload of money if they are stand-alone (because the only people who would buy them are you and Pitcavage). The rest of us, if somehow forced to acquire them, would either throw them away or just leave them in storage. What's the problem? What's stopping you making your own counters for your own use?
You're the only person in the world who wants this.
BTW, there is no ASL scenario that has so many vehicles and/or guns that no-one capable of playing ASL in the first place (with the possible exception of yourself) would be unable to remember which ones had moved and which ones haven't. And I include the various big-arse Kursk scenarios in that statement.
