The GD counters were a massive upgrade over the counters that came with Burning Tigers II. Is it supposed to be that way? The GD counters literally fell out of the Sprues and needed no clipping of the virtually invisible side nibs. The Burning Tigers counters will all have to be clipped. No matter how careful I tried to be approximately 20 German counters came apart and will require gluing. Interestingly no Russian counters separated. Anyone else have similar issues? Will all counters eventually be the same quality of GD counters?
Your BT playbook edition might have come with older counters, possibly from the original printing back in 2014~. One thing you will learn from AP is old boy does a great job of reselling old counters that he has leftover into "new games" or "playbooks", just to move the older counters out of inventory instead of trashing them.
If that’s true, I’d say that’s too bad. Aesthetics matter to me, probably more than they should. If the counters I got in Burning Tigers (PB) are what comes with the other newer and soon to be available modules, I seriously doubt I’d buy anything else. Obviously counters are a matter of personal preference and I understand others like them well enough to keep buying games that contain them. I’m afraid that’s not me though.
