A Beginner’s Guide | Hobby Gear for Wargaming

Tabletop Gear Worth Buying

Whether you are prepping for a tournament, the next D&D session or playing solo, there are a few basic items that will make the game go more smoothly.  Here’s a list of gear that might be nice to have on hand.

  • Dice – Obviously you’ll need some dice!  You really can’t have enough dice.
  • 2Tape Measures – For wargames that require a tape measure, it’s nice having a 2nd one on hand just in case your opponent forgets theirs!
  • Objective Markers – You can use any token for this but it’s nice to have dedicated tokens with numbers on them.
  • Double-Sided Tokens – These can be used for a variety of thing, such as activation tokens, wound trackers or anything really.
  • Super Glue – Be the savior at your local club & always have a spare tube of super glue on hand.
  • Combat Gauge – In some situations where using a tape measure may be clunky, these are a nice alternative.
  • Dial Counters – For keeping track of Wounds, Points, the Score, Etc!
