Counter thickness?

Does anyone know ASL counter thickness? TIA

I think that depends on print run to print run depending on the card stock used. Atmospheric conditions (humidity in particular) can shrink or swell counters. Your best bet is to grab some counters (10 - 20) and measure the width of the stack and divide by the number of counters to get an average thickness. If you have counters from across multiple eras, it would be good to sample from all of those in your measurement. -- jim

Just don't use the white foam counters that came with Special Ops #3.

I am searching for a good thickness so I can get the appropriate material. I am going to print a few copies of the rubble counter sheets from FB and mount them for poops and giggles.

Just use old errata counters Keith. Easy to take a knife and skin the fronts and backs off. Use a glue stick and voila you have your counters. Or you could laminate the rubble counter sheet, cut out the counters and use a hole punch to cut out the center dot so you can still check LOS. Cirillo turned me on to that when Budapest first came out and it works like a champ. Did that for TofR playtesting. Makes it much easier to visualize and map and helps with counter clutter

Seems like some good advice.

My counters are quite thin when I check VBM.
My opponents' are quite thicker when he checks VBM.
I really wonder why?

 

[Actionjick]

What is the thickness of the counter on VASL used to check VBM eligibility?

avg 1.58mm or for us fractions guys, 0.062 inches I sampled about 20 or so counters various publications.

Here you go. It varies a little bit counter to counter, however not too drastic. The numbers in the pics are about average.

If they're good enough for my ammo reloading, they're good enough to measure counters.

For those of us with an royal / imperial background: How much is this this in shaftments, please?

Thanks! That answers a lot. Amazon has chipboard sheets, I now know what size I need to order.

No Idea, maybe cubits might be better?

Are we building an Ark to house the counters?
Judging by my number of Planos, that might just be the ticket.
