You're gonna give that poor Canuck an embolism.

I'm glad that it works for him and he seems like a nice guy, but I'd refuse to play using his set if he pulled those out for a game.

I think I would just stare in shock. I saw how he'd severely trimmed his AFV counters to make them rectangular too. His game, and if that works for him, more power to him, but...damn.

WHAT, THE ACTUAL, FUCK!?!

Doug, yer OCD must be giving you ulcers looking at that if the mere thought of Jim putting labels on his Memoir cards caused you to almost become apoplectic!

Making copies of game boards and then cutting them up to make 3D boards is one thing, but to actually CUT UP your original counters?!?

I'm with Gary, I could never bring myself to play with that.... that .... mess....

You people are clearly not serious about the hobby

It's like a double whammy man - he hasn't just cut them down, if you look at the pile there, he hasn't even cut them cleanly! Edges aren't straight, it looks like there's torn paper, letters are sliced off.


I may need to go self medicate.

At least it's a new game so is still in print should he realize the err of his ways....

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.
