Custom Counters for Community Download - Panzer Leader 1939-41 Counter Sets
More Panzer Leader 1940 counters for community use – French in 1939-1940.
These can be used for Panzer Leader scenarios not only in the Battle of France in May and June 1940 (Case Yellow and Red) – but also France’s Rhineland invasion of 1939, and French participation in the Norway campaign of April, 1940.
Oh, and honestly, SOME of these units can also be used as Vichy French colonial battles like Syria in 1941, Madagascar in 1942, and even Morocco in 1943.

Hi Oriskany,
I saw your work on PANZER LEADER about a year ago and was impressed.
I have some drawings turned into silhouettes that I want to send your way.

Just let me know if you are interested. Your counters are outstanding!
Take care.

Hello Oriskany! It’s been a while since I’ve been on site! These are very nice counters. Is it okay for me to repost them on CSW? I have no issue with you wanting to keep them here, if you so wish.
I’ll have to do some digging and find the Italians….
Arrrrrrrgh! No Italians?!? Oh my…. 😉
