Moving Campaign Units

by A. Granger

"I have discovered a new way of moving campaign units, which may be of use to your readers. I use bicycle tape (it is used for putting round handlebars) and is sticky on one side. It costs 10 1/2p for a 4 yard roll 3" wide.

Mr campaign unitsa re 1/2" square cardboard counters which I glue in strips to the non-sticky side of the tape and then leave to dry. Then I cut off the excess tape (which must be laid flat on a piece of wood for drying). The individual units are cut off with their backing bicycle tape and they will stick onto the apper of the map without ripping it and can easily be moved about or placed on OOB charts.
