RE: Different Quality Counters
I gave up on the PG series for years after buying the original PG and then Eastern Front. Why? I really did not like the maps. I only came back to the series because of Black Panthers. Great story, beautiful maps. I enjoy having it on my table.Eventually I will also buy Saipan--the maps are gorgeous.
To be honest, I think not liking a game because of the way the counters look, or the way the maps look, is as legitimate a reason as any other. I like the way counters feel, and a nice map enhances the story the game is telling me. Sometimes I like to just step back and look over the battlefield, from this direction or that direction.
And having a product on your table that your wife thinks is nice to look at and worth what you paid for it means something, believe me.
When I buy Saipan and eventually Leyte, those maps better look like SE Asia (my wife is Filipino).
Really, these games cost so much there is no excuse for inferior components. The technology is there to get it right.
