I like the counters. Hope the hexes on the map will be VERY VERY faint indeed, if they really must be there at all, which I guess they must.
Bought Heroes of the Pacific now. It will be the first board game I've tried since I was about ten years old. Hopefully me and Tom (my nine year old) will get hooked on it, ditch our nasty computers for healthy person to person screenless boardgaming, then buy TOS too when it's out. Any ETA?
