Clipping Counters

[JayTownsend]

How many of you guys clip your counters? I clip all the games I own counters unless they come with rounded corners already or are too thick to clip. I also try and clip the side knobs. I guess its therapeutic or my OCD.

I never clip - I keep mine square. I use one of those paper cutters, the round circular ones that look like pizza cutters, to cut along the sides of counters. Before I we used this, I would cut using an Xacto knife.

I clip counters. Mostly it is because corners seem to get ragged and fade with age. They last longer when they are rounded.

I've never clipped.

The worst wargame sin of all richvalle!

I've never spilt a drink onto a game...

[JayTownsend]

Yeah, spilling a drink on a game would be the worse!

[Poor Yorek]

I clip the stamped ones because I find the octagonal shape, admittedly irregular, more visually appealing than a square (and, of course, to eliminate the detritus or chads).

I can't stand frayed edges on counters. Even pictures of them

I use a 2.5mm radius corner rounder punch cutter to uniformly round my counters. I feel they are more visually appealing, stack better, and last longer.
