I’ve just started getting more of the minis… starting with the new starter pack (2010). Never played either of the CMGs yet but am planning on getting started and I have a problem:

I have a hard time reading the print on the miniatures… I have to use a maginifying glass and hold it up to a strong light (the light on the magnifying glass is not enough). Even then, I struggle with reading the unit name. I was wondering the following:

1. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, what is your solution to the problem (this is also a problem for me with the land based game).

One solution I was thinking about was to use some cardboard (like comic or magazine backing boards to mount the ships on and print out a piece of paper the name which I would attach to the bottom of the board. I would mount the shiped on the backing board with white glue. I might spray paint the board blue (for War At Sea) and green for the land based game.

Questions:

1. If you were playing against a person who had done so, would you have an issue with their unit?
2. IF I ever played in a Tournament, do you think this would cause a problem?

Thanks!
