I've got my counters arranged in spiffy fashion and
now you can all profit from my labors. Of course, I profited from the
labors of others, most notably Tuomo's
counter storage advice which I used as a starting point and then
the tip to use coin envelopes for AFVs.
My goals
(for this current iteration) were (1) to keep everything (except Guns
and AFVs) in my eight 3701
Planos, (2) to keep opposing nationalities from sharing a Plano,
and (3) to avoid having different counters with the same color scheme
mixed in a compartment. A few concessions had to be made (the
Russians will sometimes face the Allied Minors, for instance, and the
Finnish squads are mixed with their half-squads). When Armies of
Oblivion comes out, I'll probably need to get a ninth 3701 and move
the black SS out of the German box to make room for the expanded
Finns.
