Token Counter
Hi FG Experts,
In my campaign my characters have to defend a city by leading different (small) armies. I invented some kind of mini-ruleset for this kind of encounters.
So now to my problem: I would like to have a counter on the army token where one can see the number/size of the army. I would be totally fine if I could add single digits (0-9). Has anyone any idea how i can deal with this? or do I have to work around it "manually" and count.
maybe an example
Army1 consists of 5 units
Army 2 of 8 units
Army 1 attacks Army 2 and kills 3 Units. Now both counters should show 5
Thank you for help.
BR

Set them up as NPC's and use HP. it wouldn't have a number token, but you can add health bars which would be a different visual representation.

IMO if I was doing this I would use different tokens for each army and then in the combat tracker I would list the army size in either the name or the effects. Adding in picture.

The POV that is treating the PCs/NPCs as generic stats, that we have to add our imagination to, to understand their scale representation.
A single NPC token can be a scale of one or it can be a scale of many. This can be seen in the monsters, as some of them are actually whole swarms of something, as one token.
