Saipan 1944 counters

[pixatintes]

Hi everyone,
 
I’ve recently picked up a copy of Saipan 1944 along with the Mariana and Leyte expansions. The thing is, the base game comes with these awful laser-cut wooden counters, while the expansions use the traditional cardboard ones.
 
Also, the laser-cut ones are kind of blurry on one side...
 
Is there any way to get a cardboard counter sheet for the base game?

Send AP an email, those are the older 1st print counters. I traded in all my laser counters, for die-cut counters, for all games years ago, as I was never a fan of the laser counters.

Thanks Jay, I will!

I bought a sealed second-hand copy of Saipan and.. what a surprise..

Así es como va, a veces, Que no?

Yeah it does goes that way, when getting second hand.

If Old Boy at AP does not come through for you with new counter sheets let me know, might have an alternative for you, that is if you do not mind a little bit of DIY.  Or you could just play those games on Vassal.

For now, there is no news —well, just News from the Front.

I'll wait a few more days or ask again..

I've usually gotten a better response by asking on the ConSim APL support page.

Counters aside, have you thought about playing with Vassal? It is a good way for our dispersed community to get some play time.

I have 2 games going with guys in the U.S. (Illinois and Nevada), and with a guy in Germany and another in Thailand.

Good advice, Peter, and very glad to see you are campaigning on 3 continents.

Hope to see Pixatintes online in Vassal shared play, soon.

Throw high & low,
