Love your T-shirt and I found it online. I remember AH had concert-like T-shirts of some of their games back in the day. The Panzer Blitz one looked really good, but I like the PZ Leader one you're wearing better.

Thanks @aleks, my wife got it for me. She also found it on line.

Can you do a video on how to make counter trays? As in designing and printing? That would be interesting to watch. And helpful. Meant as a constructive comment

[@NerdWorkshop1]

That is a good Idea Tracer, some day.

One of my favourite games back 30+ years ago, but such also made me aware of something I really didn't like about boardgames - the dreaded "stack". Probably because I'm "ham fisted" or just plain clumsy, but for me "counter clutter" on the board was an invitation to disaster! To be fair we had no idea about tweezers etc., but even so a simple bump of the table seemed to ensure counters would go "flying" everywhere. Since returning to board games I've been very selective to ensure I purchase games with either large counters (wooden blocks or games like V.I.T.P.) or games with a low counter total or "density". I play a friends game of "The Russian Campaign" and find such not too bad, but sadly while I'd love a copy I avoid games like the deluxe version of "World in Flames" like the plague. Anyway loving your work, the game reviews and ideas about how to store the games, counter clipping, etc., excellent.

Thanks Bucko's Piffle. I agree I hate giant stacks to. Back in the 80 I had some magnets that the counters fit in and purchased paper maps (which you had to special order). I would set the game up on the refrigerator side and play it there. That did help with the stacks to keep them from falling over. Thanks for watching.

I remember playing Guns of August. That was the worst I ever saw with stacks.
