Counter Quality

[Hugmenot]

Vince, I buy games from several companies that produce games with laser-cut counters (I believe there are only 2 laser-cut counter manufacturers). All these companies are facing the same issues, no exceptions. Two days ago, I warned one game designer he may want to reconsider the layout of his counters because they will be very difficult for the manufacture to make counters with such small margins for errors. You can even guess the designer because I told you which games I am currently playtesting.

I like the laser-cut counters much better than the die-cit counters. I like their thickness and their feel. The sometimes bad printing does not affect me much as you know I have limited vision and don't pay attention to anything other than the values and the unit symbol. The art? I could not care less. The unit name? I care some because it's printed in the scenario but ask Matt and he will tell you when I look for a specific AFV, I search for a counter that matches the values on PG-HQ, not by its name on the counter (can't read the counter names without my magnifying glass).

I like the newest counters even more than the W&P and Black SS counters but that's me, not you.

I have no problem with you or anyone else not buying any more games until the counters meet their own personal standard.
