Miniatures wargaming without the paperwork. The On the Counter (OtC) system is a framework for creating miniature style wargames without the miniatures, and without the tedious record keeping. It eliminates the need for status sheets, army rosters and hit location tables by placing everything you need directly on the counter. The OtC system lets you spend your time thinking about playing the game instead of managing it. The basic set comes with basic rules, plus counters and special rules for four different genres of combat: Mecha, Starships, World War One Dogfights and World War Two company scale combat. The On the Counter system is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License Creative Commons License. The archive includes a counter template for GIMP that you can use to create your own counters. Go ahead and make your own genres, scenarios and counters.
