\"counter<\/a><\/h4>\n

Total War has a LOT of counters (3060 total) and their storage once punched out for play presents challenges. We’ve tried out many ways to handle this and recommend using compartmented plastic boxes. Ideally these boxes should be sturdy, have many small compartments (no more than about 1-2″ in all dimensions), have tops that lock in some way to prevent counters from moving from one compartment to another regardless of how the box is oriented and to prevent the box from popping open inadvertently, have rounded bottoms to each compartment so the counters can be taken out easily with just your fingers, and be nested stackable. We’ve found a box that meets all of those requirements and are pleased to be able to offer it for your consideration.<\/p>\n

The counter box is just under 14″ (35cm) long, a bit over 8.5″ (22cm) wide, and about 1.3″ (3cm) deep. It has 32 compartments each capable of holding about 100 counters without spending any time neatly stacking the counters. If the counters are sorted by initial setup (one compartment per army) and reinforcements (one compartment each turn), there are enough compartments to easily fit all the sorted counters into 3 such boxes–one box holds all the Axis forces and the other two the Soviet forces. The top of each compartment easily has room to fit about half of a normal 1×3″ stick-on label for easy identification\/resorting.<\/p>\n

Total War Shipping Update – Shipping date has slipped a bit–mostly due to time required to be spent on arranging distribution\/retail details and tracking down current addresses of last of prepub orders (still have about 40 unknowns out of 992 prepub orders), but we should still be shipping by end of November or the first week in December. We appreciate everyone’s patience as the last problems with getting the game out are solved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
