coloured counters from a board game (mighty empires). Pretty small counters that we put on sheets of paper with maps drawn roughly on. The game has 3 different counter colours: blue, red and yellow. We use blue for the players and yellow for the "enemies" in a skirmish. When the players think (or confirm) they have taken down an enemy the counter is replaced with a red one. When an enemy goes out of sight we flip the counter to the non-coloured side to represent the last known position.
It works real well because scale isn't an issue. They are flat so they don't fall down. I have hundreds of them in a little film canister so they are easy to carry with the dice.
