Over 135 Variant Counters replace the original set included in the game. At last the Nationalities\colonial units have their own distinctive colors showing the global nature of the campaign at a glance! Instead of generic truck silhouettes there are pictures of the German Opel Blitz and the English Bedford QL. Unlike the originals these are double-sided with the backside colored in Axis gelbbraun or Commonwealth brown to provide easier sorting and\or use in hidden counter\fog of war variants. Or if requested (by adding a note to your payment) the backside color can be of the national color (as colored on the front). Note 110+ of these counters replace the original set, but there are 25+ Bonus Variant Counters (as described below) to improve game play and add historical accuracy.
Art for a beautiful new 48"x24" game map of the North Africa theater (printable from a file) is also part of this package. A choice of 3rd Edition Afrika Korps rules is provided each with their own virtues. Other helpful materials are included as well. Some to all of the non-counter materials may emailed upon shipment of your purchase.
Included with the shipment will be 25+ Bonus Variant Counters! These include a set of several different markers to enhance game play. Also, the original Avalon Hill counters had a unit counter which did NOT exist! There are also modified counter values to aid those playing with battalion "breakdown" variants and for those wanting historical accuracy. A NEW unit has been added; it corrects an seemingly obvious deficiency!!
The counters are 1/2 inch square and all the same size. The varying sizes in the picture below are for artistic effect. Also enlarging the art on a 1/2 inch counter as done in the pictures below makes it fuzzier than it would appear in true size.
They are laser printed! The counters will be shipped individually cut rather than in uncut sheets. The color shades of the actual counters may differ from those seen on your monitor. Variant counters are sent to professional printers to produce a high quality product.
Purchasing this list is an agreement not to duplicate for the purposes of resale any of the variant counters received.
Please note there is a $4.00 handling fee for this purchase. The fees charged do not fully compensate the labor and materials necessary to process a purchase. Purchases will ship within 5 business days.
