Counter clippers

[BanzaiCat]

Actually it's not bad. I clipped my NATO: Next War in Europe counters...several of them had nibs on the corners. Though it never bothered me until I came among you heathens and you converted me.

Soon we shall convert Barthheart.

Soon.

[Barthheart]

NEVER!  :nerd:

[bbmike]

Come on Barth! Most likely you were clipped at birth anyway!

[mirth]

And he's never gotten over it.

Mainly because I think it's a waste of time.... and a bizarre obsession with some people.

DINGDINGDING! We have a winner. I just have better things to do with my time.

Like trying to straighten out your counters and figure out what hexes they belong in after their sloppy corners have caught on each other and dragged them out of place?  ???

Seriously, how clumsy are you people?!

Seriously, do you play wargames with counters?!

Apparently not many. I've never seen, in person or in pictures, a counter heavy monster wargame setup that didn't look like someone should take a half hour and straighten out all the crooked misplaced counters. Trimmed counters seem to alleviate much of that problem.

Barth should get a clipper from his Secret Santa.  ;D

Yep. And I have never had problems with counters scattering everywhere, even after several drinks.

I think the lot of you need to get your eyes checked or something.

Playing with unclipped counters is like having unsafe sex. I mean, you can do it, but you really should not  :)

Nah, I'll just continue trimming the counters.

I wish there was also something that would punch out countersheets for you.

Now that the corner trimmer has made that part easier and more uniform, the counter punching and sorting is now the more annoying part.  Especially if they're not cut too closely.

Actually I'd panic the whole time, worried something would get torn.  Almost had a seizure when I accidentally started tearing some of the printed paper on the shitty-cut RAF counters a few years ago. 

Prefectionist!   :))

I bought my first non PC game in decades yesterday.  I looked, but didn't see any counter clippers there.

I'm the same way. I hate it when they start to tear. It's like a tear in my soul (or would be if I had a soul).
