BFG Help: Game Counters and Dice (etc)

[SpaceHulkMan]

Hi folks,

I'm new to BFG and I've managed to acquire the rules and such, which is brilliant: however, I have no idea what gaming counters and dice/specialist dice are needed to play the game. I've come across this image of the boxed game at http://www.angelfire.com/az/OhhDis/pocket.html and can see that there are:

Blast markers
Ship 'Side'-defining marker
Green pizza-shaped markers
Asteroid markers(?)
Small Fighter Ship markers(?)
Missile markers (?)
Mine markers (?)
A planet and a moon, and game-specific green dice.

Would somebody be able to upload scans/photos of these markers and dice, with a list of how many of each are required? (And clarify what they are exactly, in the case of the ones I wasn't sure about because the picture is too small?) Or point me toward a thread/link where this has already been done?

The game's out of production obviously, so my only real option now is to produce a set of my own if I'm to be able to play the game, so any help that can be offered with this would be amazing. Scans would be best of course.

Feel free to PM me about this too if you like.

Go to scribd.com and just type in Battlefleet Gothic, you'll find some there scans there, along with loads of articles and stuff. Look for documents rather than books, that'll help speed things up.

 There's some special order symbols, so that will save on buying dice. May want to make these up so you've got Brace For Impact on one side and any other order on the other, so rather than change marker, you just flip it over.

Most of the counters in the game are not size critical, that is the size and shape of the counter doesnt really play a part in its use. The only real exceptions are:
- torpedo counters
- blast markers
- Asteroid markers
- Nova Cannon template (the reverse of the circular aspect template)

And, out of those, the first three are not a problem if both sides use the same tokens, since they balance out for both sides. For attack craft counters, many people (including Forge World) use the old Epic square bases as an alternative to the counters.

The circular Nova cannon/aspect template is the most critical one there.

Cheers for the advice guys, great stuff!

If you’re in the US, be careful about printing those files.  They’re A4-sized, so if you print on 8.5x11 you’ll either cut off part of the page or everything will be scaled down a little bit.

Haha, thanks for the tip on printing!

But I'm actually in the UK, where we use A4 paper, so that's fine and dandy for me!
