This counter sheet is the first in the Army List series. It stands for the armies of a mythical ancient Israël led by King David himself. Those of you familiar with wargames will recognize a few features of classical old-school wargame counters, but I leave in the shade the sort of game one could possibly play with these. Sometimes, when you delve deep enough in the gaming archeology or the attic, you stumble upon symbols, references and items that leave you confused, wondering about the sort of fantasy that could make use of them. Sometimes, you don't find out, but you try to copy or to create it from a scratch. Sometimes, you don't, but you can't help the strange symbols to pour in your own inventions. This is exactly the sensation the Army List series aims to convey. Was there a game using these in a distant past? What was it like? How did it feel? Find out.
