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 recordkeeping. 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 thinnking 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

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. Let me know what you've made,
and I will host it here (though I will not accept anything based on
copyrighted or trademarked intellectual properties. I would
love to see a Star Trek or Babylon 5 conversion, but I will not host it
here.)
