Mwhahahaha!

Still not sure which I prefer; Ardennes '44 or Bitter Woods.

it's not like you don't have time during Pats-'Fins to work on punching & sorting the game
Pats-Finns? Is that something new from Compass?

What is the radius of your clipper?  2.5 or 3mm?
2.5

I knew yours was bigger than mine.

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

I'm seriously considering by the 2mm and 3mm just to round out my collection.

I like my 2mm.  I've used it on 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch counters.  What would you use the 3mm for?  That seems big.

I can only guess on some of the large counters. For the standard half-inch or 3/4 inch counter, the 2.5mm trimmer is fine.

LOL

The 3mm is just fine, even with smaller/older counters.

My solution: Buy all three sizes. Then keep the clippers in their packaging because, you know, the games are all still sealed.
