All The Ships Counters
Naval Models, Paper Figs Terrain
Mike, the Mad Game Designer has produced more than 7,000 ship counters for use in naval wargames. They cover various navies from 1900 to the present.
I’d suggest that you print them out and then glue them to small blocks of wood for a 3-D feel.
An amazing gift to the wargames community.
