We used to stock sets of acrylic laser cut counters for The Crucible ruleset, with markers for orders, damage, suppression and missiles. Rising costs have made it difficult for us to offer these at a sensible price, but we have a new solution. We have new sets of counters in full-colour printed MDF, made for us by the folks at <a href=\"https:\/\/warbases.co.uk\/\">Warbases<\/a>. The set contains over 70 counters which come on two sheets &#8211; 18 order tokens, 21 damage markers, 18 suppression markers and 17 missiles.
