WHat's with the tweezers? I don't get that reference.

Tweezers. With soft coated tips, preferrably. They're The Next Level  :))

The tweezers I bought. I haven't used them in a game yet but the lab test runs were highly successful.

Yeah - I know what they are... :2funny:...I was wondering what they were used for...picking up counters?


Their hands filled with the palsy shakes.  :P

From what I've seen, they still continue to make a mess when attempting to pick up counters with their fancy tweezers.  I'm not sure it helps them at all.   ;D

So, just out of curiosity, if a US citizen were to ship a 50 pound box (as in 3 1/2 Stone, not £50) labeled 'Paper Goods' or 'Presents' from the States to some bloke in the UK, private citizen to private citizen, and the bloke in question were to redistribute the contents of said box (which looked very much like table top games and game counter appearance enhancement devices) to other souls who also resided in the UK, how much trouble could all involved get into if the UK Customs or UK Postal Police (is that a thing?) were to open said box and, upon discovering it's contents, feel like some additional revenue aught to have been paid to someone (maybe themselves)?

As much as you guys pay for VAT, you'd think people were shipping bricks of cocaine.   ::)

They probably would not mind, as long as we'd pay the customs for itn :buck2:

I'm still looking for a program that will clip all of my Vassal module counter corners.  >:D

:knuppel2:

Inside joke?  Because I have written scripts to do this.

Vance will be SO pleased.............

Yes, its a bit of an inside joke, or rather, more accurate to say its a running gag....you mention clipping counters to Vance and then you run for it :-)

Sir, I doff my tricorne hat to you. Anyone that counter clips Vassal counters has truly ascended.  :2funny:
