Chips

@vodot THANK YOU for the notes !!

@vodot YES! I really want a full set of actual French Sculpts not just Blue Russian Sculpts.

It’s actually kinda in interesting story what happened to the carrier:

Why Béarn went there: After France’s defeat, Béarn sailed across the Atlantic carrying military aircraft (including U.S.-built planes purchased before the war) and gold from the French treasury. She stopped in Martinique rather than risk capture by the British or Germans.

What happened then: From mid-1940 to 1943, Béarn stayed in Fort-de-France harbor with her cargo. The U.S. monitored her closely, worried the gold and aircraft could be used by Axis forces. She didn’t join combat again until 1943, when she switched to the Free French side.

@The-Captain
I used 3mm thumb nuts drilled out to fit 3mm acrylic rods. I used a number of 3d printed jigs for cutting the rods, assembly of the stands and gluing the magnets. If I remember later I’ll attached some pictures of the jigs/stands

Has anyone tried putting edge markings on the chips to make chip stacks more readable?

Setup complete. Plating against chatgpt now and it made some horrific mistakes. My Italian navy destroyed the British Mediterranean fleet in turn 1 😂

@GeneralHandGrenade:

With chips I can count my money and still drink a beer at the same time.

Now that’s what I call efficient multi-tasking.  :)

@Tjoek:

Thanks for all the reactions! Could someone with both original and HBG chips make a picture for comparison? That would be really helpful.

I no longer have my OOB for a pic, but they are different, different enough for me to throw away the OOB and just get all new from HBG… if your anything like me, a little OCD or whatever, youll hate the fact they don’t match. At a few bucks for 50, cant lose.

We use yellow for one and orange for five damage.
