At GenCon Indianapolis, we are introducing a new miniatures accessory: map tokens. Here’s the description of the Bike/Swoop Token:
| When you have a character mounted on a swoop, speeder bike, or other Large-size vehicle, these tokens make your job a lot easier! In the center, they identify their purpose (”BIKE/SWOOP”) and the Challenge Level adjustment you’ll need to apply. Around the edge, all major adjustments to game statistics are listed in an easy-to-read shorthand (e.g. “HP 40″ means “40 hit points”). Best of all, when you stand a miniature on the token, its base doesn’t cover these stat adjustments.These tokens are not a substitute for the actual rules themselves. For example, you will need to have read the rules to understand the shorthand adjustments, and a few minor details won’t fit on a token. Hopefully, though, they will cut down on your need to flip back and forth between pages while you’re trying to run your game.
The durable tokens are made of metal, and a plastic layer protects the printing on the token’s surface. |

In addition to the Bike/Swoop Token, there is a Speeder/Skiff Token (for Huge vehicles), a Squad/Swarm Token (for use with the optional rules for squads in the Clone Wars Campaign Guide and the rules for swarms/packs in Threats of the Galaxy), and a Mass Combat Unit Token (for use with the optional mass combat rules in Clone Wars Campaign Guide).
Any tokens left over after GenCon will be available for purchase here starting Tuesday, August 18th. If you have any additional token ideas, feel free to share them in the comments!
