Trim the box edges while you're at it.

I smooth those down with a finger nail file.

Damn, I should have clipped all the counters to that D-Day game I sent him...I wonder if he'd have taken it?  >:D

If you send Barth a clipped game, you'll need to provide him with counter merkins.

Nope.  >:(

Easy hoss...you know I'd never do that, regardless of my clipping-cultural beliefs now.  ;)

The only comparable I have in my experience is with fossil collection and prep.

If you want maximum durability and resistance to wear, you trim and smooth the edges of the rock plate that the fossil is embedded in, its just a side effect that the fossil plate looks more presentable....

Just my left field 2cent comparable.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

The crossover to counters here is that smoothing/rounding the corners greatly decreases the instances of counters catching on each other and getting knocked out of their hexes. "Crap! Where was the 3rd Panzer supposed to be?!"

When that happens the key is to make sure the counter goes back to the hex most advantageous to you ;)
