Hey all,

These work great for the type of games they were originally targeted for. GMT, GRD, GR/D, HMS, etc type game that have thousands of 1/2 inch "chits" / counters.

THey easily hold the 1000 pieces as advertised the only problem having them packed full like that is not very practical for playing the games.

Which means a game like Wavell's War, War in the Desert, and Balkan Front are Europa series games, I have them in 12 of the trays. The total chit count for these three games is 2,320 (Since Wavell's War reprints some of the Balkan Front counters). I use a total of 12 of the trays.

Sure they could fit in three trays but that would be combining things that would make it harder to actually use them to "play" the games.

When Total War comes out, (Reprint of Fire in the East Europa series), in the next couple of months it will have a counter count above 3500 so I'll probably need 18 or so.) Perhaps not so many since the more of the same type of unit (4-6 Russian Infantry Division, etc) doesn't have to be separated out in to its own box in the tray.

Hard to explain what I mean I guess.

Great product for what they were intended to be for.

As mentioned on the other reviews it is a great minature but at the hilt is very weak. Great miniature besides that.

I was going to sell this one and buy another because of that but thought I'd read the reviews and glad I did.

Guess it is a common problem so...bummer.

I opened these up and just loved them. I can not pinpoint it exactly why but they were great.

I see Abyssal, Inc had a hand on these again as the weapons locker so not sure what it could be. The artwork to me is great. In fact while there are similar items available in other packs they were just different enough to me that it seemed like they were new items.

I am truly struggling here trying to explain but I have to say they are great. In fact it tipped me over from having a single subscription to having two subscriptions for the cards.

The potion wasn't the normal bottle like the others but a different shape, dust (I am sure an inventive DM could find a use for it), Herbs (same), scrolls (a scroll is a scroll right....well they seemed cooler for lack of a word. Then there are the odd weapons. Blowgun, siege engine....

Just great job!

What can I say it is just a great poster and love that it well be the same image on the core rule set.

Under it right front foot it even looks like the stone statue, or what is left of it, is screaming! Just spectacular!!!
