I insist everyone wear white gloves and use silver serving tongs to handle the figures.
No, not really. I accept battle damage as an inevitable part of gaming, and am quite happy to do running repairs after a gaming session. The clumsy apes that I game with are always dropping and bashing my precious little darlings, and while I may be screaming inside, I always laugh it off at the table-side and tell them not to worry. My relationships with living, breathing human beings are more important to me than those with my little metal homunculi.
My biggest problem as a colonial gamer is detached spears and shields. I don't go in for pinning or anything for those parts, though. Because I think a shield or spear that has come loose where it is glued to the hand is much easier to fix than one that has snapped. I prefer the weak point to be the glue rather than some part of the structure of the model itself.
