Thanks for featuring my game. Great video.

Thank you. Please keep me updated when the next one is coming out!

I followed your link to see the price. The price is right for a solo game of this size. Also, I saw that Mike Lambo has a dozen or so of these books, ranging for this fantasy adventure to Medieval Knight to WWI/II to modern to space sci-fi. So there is something for everybody. As for the tokens, since it looks like you have to cut them out anyway, I think I would take a clue from Chip Theory and mount them on poker chips.

I think Poker chips would be too big...but I like where your head is at!!

@@HungryGamerReviews: Most chips are 1½". but I found "Darovly 600Pcs Plastic Poker Mini Chips in 6 Colors" that are 0.9". 600 maybe a wee bit to much, but you get 6 colors to choose from. And the set is less than 14. Furthermore, you can stack and glue the chips for a two-tone good / bad side piece, or three to make a checkers size piece. Anyway, that what I found which a quick 10 minute search.

@@HungryGamerReviews: After another quick search of "Plastic Poker Mini Chips", I found a set of 1 inch, 300 count with 10 different colors by Smartdealspro. These chips are smooth (no teeth) so they stack but won't lock together. However, they have a bigger area for a picture. They also have a option for an edge, making them more like Chip Theory's chips. (I think.)

This looks very interesting, I think I'll bite. But one thing I'm a bit nervous about - given the nature of the binding, it looks like it doesn't lie flat. So isn't that a headache, causing your tokens (or indeed miniatures) to fall/move around? What was your experience of this?

[@HungryGamerReviews]

It slides around a little. Prob wouldn't w heavy card stock or thin cardboard

I use 4 paper clamps (clipped to the cover of a hardcover placed underneath) to keep the map area perfectly flat. Love Mike Lambo's games

[@FreeRangeDice]

People take the books to office supply stores or copy stores and have them spiral bound. Additional cost, but a fix.

I've done two things with Fields of Normandy XL. 1) Plexiglas sheet over well-flattened book, and 2) my preferred method, print maps (via BGG) on my color printer.
