Are YOU a button counter?

Are you a button counter? In this video, we dive into one of the most debated topics in historical miniature painting and miniature wargaming—accuracy vs. artistic freedom. Are you the kind of wargamer who counts every button, or do you prefer a more relaxed approach when painting your historical miniatures?

We explore the pros and cons of striving for strict historical accuracy in your miniature painting and how it affects gameplay, immersion, and enjoyment in tabletop wargaming. Whether you're painting Napoleonic uniforms down to the last stitch or just want your army to look good on the battlefield, this discussion is for you.
