Thank you for your pithy, objective and, dare I say it, helpful reply.

May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.

I'll assume they didn't need any clipping.

I use a scalpel to separate them from the sprue, and I'm actually engaged in clipping 'em at present.

Playing with untrimmed counters is much like playing mini's with unpainted figures! Not to be contemplated  :biggrin:

Bob
If you can find a copy, The Franco-Prussian War by Geoffrey Wawro is an excellent history covering the lead up and execution of the war.

I am supposed to learn the rules to  On to Metz but I haven’t done so yet. I wish there were a better operational level game. I’m tempted by Compass Games’ On to Paris but I don’t really need another game and Its received some mixed reviews.
