All those counters really brings back memories.

Obviously the options selected will make each game different.

Being the middle-aged wargamers we are, it was hardly noticed. Now the red pullover? There's no hiding from it.

Wow, did you see the Chinese? Someone cornered their counters. I'm sure that eases things but the thought of cornering all those....

My first game with chits I remember busting them out as quick as I could, ripping the face a bit on a few of them. The next set I was more careful, but even then they all had the 'perforation tits'. Neatly cut away chits was the next process, along with steadily increased counter management. There they sit in stacks of Plano boxes gathering dust with their own alphanumerical indexed catalog system.

I did the corner cutting for Enemy at the Gates. Those counters clipped well as the info was centered good on them. Definitely makes for easier picking up imo, especially for unstacked counters. You can grab and flip up with your thumb pressing down on the other 'corner. Worked well for someone with bigger, manual labor fingers.

OCS was a fun system back in the day. Very large but still manageable. Never had Case Blue, although it seemed like more people went there after it came out.

Like many players, I own somewhere past 6,000 World in Flames counters, all clipped unless they still reside on their countersheet reserve pool due to sheet upgrades from ADG over the years.

Works very well IMO. With a bit of practice you can do 10 counters in the time it took to do one. Did all of the KiF counters in one evening.

That is pretty snazzy for sure.

My friend Luis Ángel has all the WIF counters trimmed. He sits there when it's his enemy's turn and cuts one by one the four corners of each counter. For days of wiffing. I was astonished.

I bought from him his older versión of WIF not to have to do it myself (I wanted them trimmed) but now I am thinking I should have had to wait for the new WIF versión... or MWIF.

The url has a "how it works" link at the top. I imagine you'd dull the blade rather quickly going through several thousand counters like that.

And hitting the hard bottom for sure. I prefer a larger corner, but that's just me.

edit: Also, the one thing that clippers do well is compress the corners a bit. Helps keep them intact imo. Seems like there is a product to spray over the counters to seal them also. Dont remember where I saw that.

You're not going to suggest a graphics mod for this degree of realism in MWiF, are you?

Dang. I never thought of that. Clipped corner mod. I like the sound of it. Cut 6,000 counters at once. Or did you mean er..umm..tits and all? Im sure there is a correct name for it.

Nah, I was more worried about the random "ripped face" mod. That would give players something to argue about!
