Yes, it would keep the names and taglines more in line with what APL is shipping.

Use both, because I am a sadist and want to see if Peter will really do it.

Renaming flowers in a bouquet.

This is what it looks like
Watching the poll, there is an overwhelming preference for changing the names from old game references to newer game titles. So far I have identified 18 extensions and 2 for later, which would need name changes. There would be updated tag lines and tab names too. Game package updates would be automagic. I won't be changing extension ID's or version numbers, thus even if one does not load the new-name version, it should still work with someone who did.

    There was not a game or expansion published reusing these counters. A Golden Journal was the next best choice.

Ldr Australian Afrikakorps --> Ldr Australian KokodaCamp
Ldr Japanese Guadalcanal --> Ldr Japanese KokodaCamp
    Both Kokoda Campaign and Kokoda Trail are out of print. The Japanese leaders are also used in Changsha Operation. As Kokoda Campaign is latest physical game, I chose it.

Ldr German BattleBulge --> Ldr German DragonTeeth
Ldr US BattleBulge --> Ldr US DragonTeeth
    I'll deal with these once I have a little more information, like where the aircraft are coming from and how expansive the Luftwaffe troops might be.
