Finished off the white edging on all the clipped info counters I have with me, I NOW have to repair my 2.5mm clippers to. Complete the commission counters I also have left to do!

Cool. Do you use some kind of paint or white-out?

Something NEW for me to obsess over ...

Oh, right! That's all we need ... another ASL compulsion! Maybe you guys need to try something a less addictive, a little sprinkle of heroin on your cornflakes? ?

Do you know how much that stuff is? I’d rather snort or sell counter clippings!!!?

I colour in the sides of the white info counters so they stand out in a stack and not be missed.
Clearly an essential improvement.

Always enjoy to see the DM counters in my opponents' stacks highlighted a bit.

The cheap "hack" I use is...if the stack is okay all counters are square to each other...

...if the stack has an issue...say malfunctioned MG...then that counter is at 45 degrees (+/-) to the rest of the stack.

The above can be used too for a DM, PIN, etc...yes I know the gets complicated with a stack DM and a weapon that is down...but then the stack will look all "spiky" as it won't have a uniform appearance as a uniform stack....I said it was a "cheap" hack...

But, as always Olli has a quality level solution.

As I have so many counters I had thought at one time to do the same with 2-3 of each support weapons for being broken but that’s just going a little too far?
