Should be no problem this is step 1, next step is getting all the counters clipped, then he will sort them afterwards, so it's just clip clip clip clip and sort, no problem at all :-)
I know, it's going to be a hard job to sort them ... But yesterday, when i got the game, my son was so excited : not only many counters to punch but counters with tanks and soldiers (he loves everything related to war). I wasn't able to manage his work, so he punched everything in the box.

What do you mean by "clipping" the counters? Are there sharp or uneven edges that need to be taken care of? Great picture by the way. This looks like a fun game.

He's referring to the common (in the wargaming community) practice of trimming the corners of cardboard chits. The practical benefit of this is that it will aid in keeping the corners of the pieces from fraying as quickly. The added benefit is that the pieces look fantastic when they're all finished up!
I know it sounds tedious, but it quickly becomes an enjoyable part of the hobby once you get into it.

And what is the easiest way to do it without messing up the chits? Is there a device?

While the C4 allows you to cut half a dozen chits at a time, many people also use homemade jigs, usually made by filing away the corner of a CD case and using nail clippers to achieve a uniform look
But don't you mean "punched," Michael? In their unpunched state, counters are, well, less disorganized than this...
Oups ... My English is far for being perfect ! Thanks for the correction
I really meant not disrespect, Michael!
In fact, I had one of those "WTF?..." moments when I first saw your picture and caption. For a second, my mind went "Do they really come like that in the box?"
Obviously, everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, I have never found one second of "clipping" to be enjoyable. Possibly needed for games with high counter density and large stacks, not so much for games with fewer counters.
CLIPPING IS NOT ENJOYABLE. Correct. Most often is a needed requirement depending on the game, counter density... But NEVER converting counters in octagons.
Yup, the C4 is amazing. The "augmented" CD case and clippers work just as well, just takes longer to do that way. Getting 8 done at a time vs. 1 at a time.
Write to dking232@sc.rr.com or go to his website at daveking-c4.com. Dave King is the inventor (and seller of these fine counter cutters) and a hell of a nice guy. He'll hook you up.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
