Bases, sometimes. And are those 1" plastic disks with ridged edges technically poker ships? (ALL my gaming is with miniatures.) Anyway, they get used for bases and status markers. |

Yes, as bases for larger figures and as markers for some games. |
| Glengarry5 | 29 Aug 2017 5:40 p.m. PST |
Yes, although I'm beginning to think they look too "big" for anything under 28MM. |
| Winston Smith | 29 Aug 2017 5:49 p.m. PST |
Yes. I spray painted them in earth tones and numbered them for hidden movement tokens. |
| ZULUPAUL | 29 Aug 2017 6:09 p.m. PST |
I've used them as bases for trees |

Yes and one of my best selling items at conventions are tubes of the mini-chips in many colors. At less than $2 USD they are great status makers and single casting mounting bases. I have seen players use different colors for different squads or weapon systems. |

I did the same as Winston. Earth tone dummies, usually with lichen glued on top. |
| Ed Mohrmann | 29 Aug 2017 8:14 p.m. PST |
Yes, no and maybe (it really depends upon the rules
in play and scenario specific things…) |

I have used them in Great Rail Wars, which are worked into the theme. I have considered them for blind-draw activation tokens, but have never actually done it. |
 x42brown | 29 Aug 2017 10:11 p.m. PST |
It is strange, I bought them to use got various purposes and ended up not using them. So no.
I do use tiddlywinks for most of those purposes. x42 |

Did. Back in 1964, chips were labelled 1 to 100 and placed in an empty coffee can. But, that was replaced a year later by a random number generator. |
| Karellian Knight | 30 Aug 2017 5:12 a.m. PST |
I use them as bases for my 54mm figures. |
| Old Wolfman | 30 Aug 2017 6:36 a.m. PST |
In Aerodrome,yes. White-1 point,Blue -5,Red-shot enemy aircraft down,black-you got shot down,green-assist on a kill,and sometimes gold- if you shoot down a Blue Max ace. |
| Old Contemptibles | 30 Aug 2017 8:10 a.m. PST |
In the past but not in my games. |
| Chuckaroobob | 30 Aug 2017 8:26 a.m. PST |
yes, for moral markers in "Chassepot and Needlegun." |
| Oberlindes Sol LIC | 30 Aug 2017 8:33 a.m. PST |
No, but I like the idea of turning them into nice-looking dummy counters. |
 StoneMtnMinis | 30 Aug 2017 10:43 a.m. PST |
Used for dummy counters and 5-card stud.  Dave |
| jdginaz | 30 Aug 2017 8:00 p.m. PST |
Yes, I use them instead of cards for IABSM. |
