Making set up faster.

[ForestRunner]

I find set-up generally quick.

My cards are in their own ultra-pro deck boxes.

I use fishing tackle boxes to compartmentalise my tokens and figures. So the tokens/barricades are all seperated as appropriate, then I have my zombies simillarly seperated into their own compartments - 14 regular, 7 red, 7 radio active, 7 black (electrified zombies!), 14 regular grave weapons, 7 red grave weapons and 7 radio active grave weapons. All of my Heroes are bundled into their own compartment. Other than Heroes I'm not sifting through figures either.

So with everything sorted as said above, another really big change I noticed when speeding things up for set-up was having my cards sleeved (ultro-pro deck protectors). I recall shuffling the cards unsleeved was an absolute dog! - especially after acquiring all the expansions.

I'm a wargamer as well, so I'm generally patient with set-up anyway.
