[GZG] [FT] Casino chips for bases?

Just wondering if anyone had tried these.

Pointers on how to drill holes for stands would be appreciated. I noticed the
'dice' chips had die sides plus interposed blocks, for a
twelve-point
rosette, though they aren't actually points. For pickup games, though, I don't
think it will be too fiddly.

Yeah, I did that to a couple of $100 chips I won in Vegas.

Looks really good.

I'm curious too. I've seen them for sale recently.

I usually use washers for weighty, round bases. For my WW2 microarmour I've
started to use the formica and veneer counter top samples that you can pick up
free at Lowes and Home Depot.

I haven't used them for bases.

Wow. What a brilliant idea!

I once did an air combat game with the chips for altitude; now that I think
about it, DragonLance did the same, thought the 'chips' were much thicker,
though without the color code I'd worked out.

However, for temporary vertical separation when things are 'tight', I agree,
it's a smashing idea...

Thank you.

We've had instances where smaller ships have "disappeared" under the front of
a huge ship like the NAC carriers or ESU SDNs. We've usually raised the larger
ship in order to fit the small ships on the table without disrupting the
positions. You need to be able to see them to remember to activate them!
