@lincolnhawk Chessex makes custom dice about $1 each, call them, before that make the template for 1,2,3 results. with a transport ship icon, etc. Their is a minimum # of dice that you need to buy, but you can resell those. They also sell the Axis and Allies dice sets, just ask, these are the premium ones with flags for 1 result
Cheaper alternative for battle dice.

Buy different blank color dice. Each color represents a specific kind of unit.
http://www.dicegamedepot.com/blank-dice-3/Buy stickers for the dice. Put a sticker on one of the sides of the dice. This represents a att/def value of one. Add one sticker per side for different att/def values.

The problem with that is that the sticker will come off and/or the image will get worn.

Dice rolling can become tedious for anything requiring a roll of one. I see this would allow you to roll all of your units at once on a single round of battle, easily count the dots(hits) and speed up the game. Will try it soon

I have done this too. It is a much easier system. I found blank dice for sale on eBay. 12 of each seems sufficient.

AKA: Hit Dice… there are already many options like this out there, including different colored dice for which are 1-hit, 2-hit, 3-hit, etc… both IWNGU and Young Grasshopper offer Hit Dice as an alternative to the national battle dice.
