Friday! Par-tee! Or, brew a cuppa, get them Oregon Lam clippers out, put some TLC into your games.

This, my friends, is Eisenbach Gap, Death of First Panzer, and Blood and Bridges counters locked and loaded! No more washing my hands after a game session  O0

I am not at war against square counters as such, but at war against untidy chits.  :knuppel2:

As long as they need to be punched, leaving those corners an unholy mess, I will clip them  O0

+1, clipped counters just stack better....  a fact that can't really be disputed.

Another thing that can't be disputed is that rounded corners don't catch on each other the way unclipped ones do. All those hanging chads are messy.

My Russian troops have all been nicely clipped and stored in a RAACO box. Germans infantry is done as well, now working on the vehicles and guns. (ASL)
It's a life's work, but the end result is very nice.

I am using the big clipper shown on various pictures earlier in the thread. Of the three sizes I think I have the middle one.  O0
