Two Big Titles with Our New Counter Tray System

We recently had the opportunity to work on two major wargames at the same time:

• Pacific War: The Struggle Against Japan, 1941–1945
• A World at War: The Second World War in Europe and the Pacific

So capturing a photo of both of these monster titles together was a great moment!

Both games contain a huge number of counters — each includes 10 countersheets, and getting them ready for the first setup and play is no small task.

We were thrilled to see that the counters in Pacific War fit perfectly into our new tray system, without any lid lift! (Note: the counters with points are kept in baggies near the maps.)

In the case of A World at War, there is a 6mm lid lift. We tried to minimize it, but it wasn’t possible due to the cards that need to be stored alongside the counters near the maps.

Recently, Michał from BoardgameChronicle, who created the Pacific War tray layout, shared his detailed notes on the contents of each tray.

Would it be helpful if we added something like this to our sets in the form of description stickers? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

We’ve also received a few other beautifully sorted titles from our fans — we’ll be sharing them with you all soon. Stay tuned!
