I figure the following markers are required or would be useful:

March
Overwatch
Broken
activated
Critical effect (gargant fire, titan reactor damage, etc)
single shot (ammo counter OR out-of-ammo marker)
slow-firing (weapon available OR weapon unavailable)


If the single shot and slow-firing markers are combined, then all could fit on a single die.

i.e. replace the engage symbol on the current Epic order dice with something like a bullet, and that's all you need.

That said, having order marker discs that are blank on one side and have an order on the other would allow for a game variant where all orders are assigned at the start of the turn. Which could be fun. A variation on that would be to have numbers on one side instead of having a blank side, then the order of activation could be set at the start of the turn as well, or maybe have random activations by rolling a D20 or something.

These useful?

http://www.shapeways.com/designer/BenMartynS

I put on 6 order types.

Triple inline arrows (March)
Three separating arrows (Broken)
Exclamation mark (Activated)
Targeting circle (Overwatch)
Explosion (Critical hit / damage)
Spanner (Repairing or Marshalling)

I've printed and used this size of "hollowed out" dice at this size before in "White Strong & Flexible" and also "Stainless Steel".

When I printed them in WS&F I painted in the dots on the dice manually when they arrived.
I'm sure a similar thing could be done with the icons on these.

Oh and if anyone wants any customised 3d dice in this style done up with unique markings on them (like letters or numbers or whatever), just ask.

11 is Marshall, 12 and 13 are Rally, 14 and 15 are engage, 16 is broken, 19 is Overwatch, 22 is sustain fire, 24 and 25 could also be sustain fire (or blast markers, I suppose), 26 is Hold, 28-30 is Ground Attack for aircraft, 31-33 is Intercept, 51 is Advance, 52 is Double, 52-but-really-53 is March, and 54 is Engage.

Yes?


Oh, these would be a nice D12 if I counted correctly. Yes, that would be a nice thing. Or make seperate Air/Land dices.
