Working with new components
I understand the character cards are intended to have dry-erase marker on them, and perhaps the MH tiles as well. But before I started experimenting I wanted to make sure I've got it right. Are both these items dry-erase compatible? How about the figure markers (chits)? How about wet erase markers, like the ones people use on Chessex mats?

I used the markers from SJ Games's edition of Triplanetary on the cards and they cleaned up just fine. I didn't try the megahexes or counters.

Re: Working with new components
I think the megahexes are dry-erase compatible, but get a quote from someone from SJG first, to be sure. I do not think the counters are made to be.

I can test them in about 90 minutes.

Re: Working with new components
If memory serves, if you read the "Read This First" insert in your Legacy edition, you should get some advice on what to use on the Megahexes...

Re: Working with new components
The generic dry-erase markers from Triplanetary went on and wiped off the character cards, counters, and megahexes with no problems.

Re: Working with new components
Did anyone ever answer this? If we jack up our megahexes or cards, will there be opportunity to purchase replacements? I can put the cards in card sleeves and mark on those instead, but dry erase wipes off with a touch and is not the best method for this kind of thing IMHO.

Re: Working with new components
I am interested to experiment with what happens when a character marker chit touches one of the dry-erase lines; it is possible the lines will smear and/or transfer to the chits. We'll just have to see how that works out.
