The counters isn't exactly the main thing behind the game. I, for one, tend to compare, collate and trash those "counters" that do not conform to the rest of the "set". For instance, I threw out most of my camouflaged SS counters because the Black ones I got look so much better. Twenty years old? Bring 'em on!
I've been waiting for this game to be published for over a year now, don't fuss about the small stuff!
