I just got Beyond Valor and was surprised that there are no raft/assault boat counters. I see that they come with Yanks, which is long out of print and very expensive. Where else can I get them? I'd prefer not to buy a whole module for these counters...are there any third party raft/assault boat counters available?

Small Rafts are available with CdG/Dinant (2020). Small Raft 1 (4), Small Raft 4 (16).

I doubt there are any more as the lettering is consistent: Small Raft 1 Yanks (A-D), CdG (E-H) and Small Raft 4 Yanks (A-P), CdG (Q-Z);(a-f)

Thanks. It sounds like there aren't any of the assault boats in CdG?

Not according to the Armory.

hmmm, no large rafts either. Kind of frustrating.... Looks like Yanks was last reprinted in 2008...could that possibly be right?

I would have thought that boats would be included in the more recent BV editions, as the rulebook now has chapter E included.
My bad.

Either that or Splash out on yanks?
LOL, I don't think so. The cheapest copy of Yanks (2nd Ed) on Noble Knight is $350, and a shrink-wrapped version is $650. Frankly I don't understand why MMP allows Yanks to go out of stock; a lot of players (especially US players) will be turned off the game if they can't buy one of the major combatants. I guess I'm lucky that BV was in stock.

ooh ooh, is that an actual product, or a mock-up? Sorry, but which company are you affiliated with? Exactly what I need!

[EDIT] Sorry, missed your Store link above...I'd actually seen your Landing Craft counters, but I didn't think that they include any rafts/assault boats (although I'll probably get the landing craft as well).

I threw it together last night. Less than 6 hours, when you exclude meal/walk/bathroom breaks. I should get the proofs tomorrow for review - if I didn't make any mistakes, I might have a finished product in 2-3 weeks (along with some restocking of existing product).

Wow you're good; I'm in for the rafts and LCs, maybe some of your other stuff once you restock--not much available in your store ATM. Good job man!

Yup, it's my own pandemic odyssey (aka first world problems).

o_O My gosh! That's insane.

Given the patience this would be (a somewhat questionable) way to finance the entire hobby.
