Question The killteam cardboard measuring is wrong

Post image

The measurements on the token given with the core rules seems wrong, is it widely accepted that those are unreliable or is my copy fucked up ?

I measured with a wooden ruler in mm and converted to inches and the measuring stick from my core rulebook is a lot closer to 6 inches than yours. The 2 inch one seems slightly too short though.

I also measured the sheets of two different starter boxes and they too seem fine. Only explanations I have is that all your rulers and tapes are wrong, or that the sheet has been changed at some point and you have an older version (this kind of change has tooling costs involved so it's not done without good reason), or that you live in a very dry climate and the sheet overall has shrunk compared to how it was manufactured. If you still have the sheet, maybe try measuring its outer dimensions and compare that to what other people have.

Same, mine is about 1mm off 6 inches, but nothing like OP, where its 3/16th or something, 4-5mm.

We double checked and it is in fact closer to 1mm or something rather than the 3 we showed with the elastic band
