Well, I carefully clip the corners of ALL counters of my board games.
And then there is the microwave to the left and the refrigerator to the right of my computer desk. Oh, I also have my a** planted in a great gaming chair, that has it's own little fridge, in case reaching for the regular one is toooo much work.

Never got around to clipping. I have War in the Pacific 2nd edition, I can only imagine how long that would take to clip those 9k counters(think its 9k).

I gave this up years ago and went to Matrix computer games, I don't miss the wind though the widow gusts, along with the Cats, Dogs, and Kids. [;)]

Actually for me I am still a boardgamer at heart but do enjoy both. And buy both. Either way a great hobby. One enhances the other.

Well I haven't made a plastic kit for about 15-20 years but I saw that the Korean kit maker Academy do a 1:350th scale model of HMS Warspite. I've ordered this and just waiting for it to arrive. That should keep me occupied for a while [:)]

Luverly.
I've been considering beginning building plastic kits again. I suspect it is great for relaxing.

Like Warspite I have'nt done any military modelling for over 30 years, so I was tempted to get the Yamato.
But at £256 pounds for a 1/350th scale model, its a little out of my price range..[:(]

Maybe men do those things because from time to time they regress to a child again.

Regress? According to my wife and children I never left childhood.
