Infantry Tokens

An infantry token functions as a plastic infantry unit for all game purposes.

When producing an infantry unit, a player can use an infantry token from the supply instead of a plastic piece.
Players can replace their plastic infantry with tokens at any time.
If a player ever has an infantry token on a planet that does not contain one of their plastic infantry or in the space area of a system that does not contain one of their plastic infantry, that player must replace it with one of their plastic infantry from their reinforcements.
  1. If that player cannot replace the token, the unit is destroyed.
Infantry tokens come in values of one and three. A player can swap between these tokens as necessary.
