Elsenborn Ridge Question - Components

[Dan Storm]

Hello All;

I received my Brand New Copy of ER 2015 today.
Ordered direct from AP.
The game came with Version 4 rules and all the charts and graphs are the 2014 versions.
The game came with a newer version of system markers / counters (2014) - and [3] sheets of game pieces from 2008.

Questions:
The game did not come shrink wrapped - is that normal now?

Were the counters updated at all for the 2015 version or is my set correct with the 2008 Game pieces?

Thank You.

Dan.
