I've never heard of them before now. I read their pinwheel article, good stuff. I have at least heard of Metal Bikini but have yet to visit the site. Besides here I visit Board Game Geek and A Few Maneuvers web sites. Personally I also focus on Tournament play. I love a highly competitive environment.
It may seem odd but here is the reason I decided to write up these guides. Ed from the Nova Squadron was looking for tips and tricks to talk about for his Podcast Nova Squadron Radio. You can find that podcast on iTunes as well as the web site http://www.afewmaneuvers.com. Ed recommended that I write up an article on the movement hints I showed in part 1. I got hooked and just kept spilling all the things I know about movement in X-Wing. I've been teaching these tricks to players around me for some time with this philosophy in mind, The better I can help make the players around me, the better I become myself. In other words if the people around me just keep getting better then I have to improve my game to keep winning. From my point of view I'd rather play the best and lose than play a novice and win.
Did you just glue them onto spare tokens?
Yes these are just stickers placed on the number tokens.
