I tend to run historical docs/courses in the background, listening to the audio while steadily clipping away with my OregLam clipper.

You are all degenerates! I...... I can't even speak of the evils you are perpetrating on your poor defenceless counters.
The great designers of the world have spent countless hours designing SQUARE counters for their games for you to enjoy and then you all go and deface they wonderful labours.
What is this world coming to when war gamers, the most staid and rational of all gamers, are busy mutilating wonderful square counters for their own perverted pleasures?!?
For shame and damnation upon you all!

Did you remember to spray a matte finish (Krylon Matte #1311 is my personal choice) on the countersheet before you punched them? ;)

They confessed this stuff while we were in a restaurant. The waitress refused to serve us anymore and the bartender came over and told us they didn't want our kind around there. I think we might have gotten away with nothing more than dirty looks if it had just been the component mixing, but when Jim admitted that he put stickers directly on cards, as well as mixed components...well, that was just too much for conservative Midwesterners to take.

My wife has long recognized that the act of counter clipping is among my many autistic behaviors. It seems slightly more socially acceptable than rocking...
Counter clipping is definitely one of my more socially acceptable behaviors.

As far as I am concerned, clipping counters is like crack cocaine. Once you inhale, you're hooked :buck2:
(I know I would be, given how I need to have everything in pedantic order)
Instead, laminate your charts and tables to have all that warm feeling that is really required. I just bought my own laminating machine, earlier I had always sneaked into our firms mailing room in the wee morning hours to do my deeds there.
So, it's like weed, already legal in some states, and lots of good buzz to have O0

It was a no-brand 30 euro laminator from a local office shop. I was not planning to buy it, was in for something else. But when I saw the price I thought heck I will give it a go. Seems to do the job well enough.

Guess what I'm buying this weekend :P
Laminators are a bit like printers - the machine itself is cheap, it's the necessary accessories (ink/toner vis a vis lamination pouches) that adds up. But I feel that the protection that they give for the various components of a (usually) expensive game that are often handled is well worth it.

I thought I was a serious wargamer, but with all those square cornered counters and unlaminated charts, I see now I have been amatuerish.
I bought some of those 8.5" x 11" clear acrylic tabletop sign holders awhile back, and I use those to hold charts and the like. Pretty useful, and keeps stuff up off of the table, saving space.
So, you should probably get a few of those while you're at Staples, as well, :-)
I'll add them to the list.
The Soothiness Rating of this thread is nearing the 100% level. Better be ready to open some release valves next
No one is releasing anything until I have all my game charts safely laminated.

There's more than enough weird around here to worry about pondering. It sucks that FoF keeps getting pushed back though, there's tactical games coming out the wazoo atm, but most of them seem to be tweaking the same old formula. Fields of Fire is in a league of it's own.

I try to shop within EU borders so the parcels don't get stuck at the customs. Giochi n Scatola has decent prices, a good catalogue, but unfortunately came back to me telling they were out of stock with OCS Korea The Forgotten War. I really wanted that title, so went to BGG 2nd hand market and what do you know, a local selling the very same game in Like New condition with a good price too.
You know where this is leading right. All the counters were neatly punched, with corners clipped, then sorted in colors and formations

A new game I really need to pick up before it's out of print. (He says looking at the stack of unplayed games in his man cave).
I've been having at "Remember Gordon!" with HL and can tell you that the hardest thing was dealing with the mid-top and mid-bottom nibs that were left over from the punch out. No sooner did I assume I had this whole OCD thing under control when, dammit, they throw another challenge my way.
I left them be, but, every time we play, I fuss about them a little bit and think about reaching for the nail trimmer.
When I look at all the extra 'marker' counters, cluttering and covering the combat units in the GBoH series, I wish they were smaller & less physically obstructive.
Frustrating having all that clutter on and around your units, when trying to get a wider picture of the location and facing along the battle lines. :tickedoff:
Same often goes for other systems on the maneuver-level battle scale. The extra war between informational counters and the actual combat units, fighting for visibility. :knuppel2:
Litko sells those clear plastic markers of various shapes, sizes and colors that I'm seeing some people use. I've been thinking of picking up an assortment of them for some of my games.
You can also buy bags of 250 or so tiny tile dividers for about $3. That's what I did and have painted them in 4-5 different colors so far. They're useful for all sorts of games. At WBC last week I saw people were using them and had come up with an even simpler solution to colorizing them. Colored felt tip markers! Probably took a quarter of the time as my painting did.
If you go that route, it might still be a good idea to wash/rinse them and allow them to completely dry before marking. Also, I've heard that tweezers save you from getting colored fingers.

GBOH is one of the worst for marker clutter. Might have to try some of these tile divider things.
They're listed as "Tile Spacers" if you're searching the web. 1/16" size would definitely free up some counter faces.
Now to find out how many different colors of permanent marker we can find. :))
Good suggestion Ubercat.
I had definitely considered drastically cutting down the Cohesion hit counters in GBoH. Placing them underneath the units still forces you to pick each one up to see it's status, which is inefficient as hell. But, even cut down to a hypothetical half-size, they'd still be a bit obscuring. Plus the amount of counters to cut four sides from? In multiple GBoH games? Talk about "abuse" - to myself!

Wouldn't they dry up all stuck together?
It might be easier to use some kind of ionic dye that soaks into the plastic. Soak them a while in hot dye, then rinse them with cold water. You could try the stuff deadheads use for tie-dying.
I think Cyrano might be the next YouTube sensation.
He can film himself going to used book stores and thrift stores, finding awesome wargames, then taking them home and slowly mutilating the counters, all the while going "ahhhhh" as if he let out a long, wet fart. :)

Yeah, laser cutting and engraving is another option, and more reliable for creating lots of small flat parts such as markers and loose hexes than using a 3D printer (which is very slow and requires a lot of fiddling). laser engravers are getting cheaper and cheaper if you want to make stuff yourself and sell it. I backed one on Kickstarter a while back that can cut acrylic and plywood sheets as large as 20" by 16". If you just want to engrave things that are already cut you can get 300 to500 Milliwatt diode engravers for $100-$200 with small work areas or if you are handy with DYI electronic kits you can build more robust 1-5 watt open C&C type diode laser cutter/engravers for a couple hundred more. There are even Chinese 'blue box' 40 watt CO2 lasers you can get for about $500 but they require a lot of tinkering and modding to be user friendly.

I highly recommend Tom's work!
All resistance, it turned out, was futile... Them corners, they are so... tidy now. And it is only a 2mm cutter... O:-)

I'll keep the computer game counters nice and square, with sharpest of corners. Promise! :))

I took my cutter and two games to the waterpark with my family last week I sat late into the evening drinking and clipping.
I am now annoyed by photographs of unclipped counters.'
I was disappointed when I opened my copy of "Jena 20" and discovered that the beautiful, laser-cut counters would not need trimming.
Go into the light.
There is peace and serenity in the light.
Oh, and I just ordered a pair of tweezers.
Drinking and clipping is an excellent way to spend an evening.
Not only do I have tweezers, but I've discarded one set as being unacceptable and had to upgrade to new, improved tweezers.
I can only imagine the disaster my existence would be if I decided to fall down the miniatures rabbit hole.
