Some good, some bad:
- The boards are nice, much like the Lib'44 boards, but brighter.. The color is a bit odd, especially with the water, but nothing really weird.
- The counter sett seems a little dense for 2 sheets. It is an interesting mix. I was a little surprised (but shouldn't have been) by the appearance of British Hotchkiss AT guns. The British AT gun layout looks better.
- APL has gotten reduction stripes off of most of the pieces that shouldn't have them. I had pointed it out in proofings before, it seems someone is starting to notice. (If I had been a proofer on these I would have caught it again.)
- There are 3 unspecified forces, not defined in the scenario book. Those are the Brandenburg commandos, Royal Marines, and some other blue guys (French marines?).
- The aircraft counters are getting visually busier. Some people like it, I happen to not. It isn't excessive though. The aircraft mix for the British is a little disappointing. Then again, there wasn't a very diverse inventory to choose from.
- Come guys, the backs of those casements? I am definitely remaking mine.
Generally a nice set. A few quirks, but looks fun. Will be playing soon.
