RE: AaD Shipping Thread
USPS 2nd 3rd day delivered.
So ...
The GD '43 counters are visually impressive. They are much like the BT thick ones: same texture and line across the reverse. The GD shield is now white with black "GD" (rather than the reverse). I guess MB was amused to include a Maus counter rather than a second Nebelwurfer or whatever.
Also received a back-ordered Desert Rats counter set. Twenty-one 2-lbrs. No transport. :-(
The maps for AoD are nicer than I was expecting from the images. There is some "scrub green" to add texture and relief to the sand and blue-grey stone/scree terrain.
Counters are punched with the "attachment" on the sides, not corners. The reverse do not have the old indented/crushed feature (they are flat), although the obverse has a bit of rounding at the edges. US olive green is a bit lighter (or more yellow-ish) than the ER/BoB versions. US leader mix is stronger than I anticipated (at least with respect to combat bonuses). The Italians have a portee 90mm AT gun (no armor value, so assume it's to be treated as a truck with -1). Germans and Italians have their traditional APL desert color
scheme.
Oh, and the box is much like the ER box (thin) compared to, say, PP or the Kursk pair.
