This package can help make classic Hex’n’Counter wargames using LaTeX. The package provides tools for generating

Counters for units, markers, and so on
Counter sheets
Order of Battle charts
Illustrations in the rules using the defined maps and counters

The result will often be a PDF (or set of PDFs) that contains everything one will need for a game (rules, charts, boards, counter sheets).
