How about any of the blue bordered Black SS, only one set printed as a prize and all still on the tree unpunched?
Ahh, but is there a scenario designed specifically for those counters? ;-)

Is the rarest count the PF counter? As far as I recall there was only 1 printed in in BV, or did we get one in Paratrooper as well? Even so, two counters would still be pretty rare.

Ah, but you could always bring forward one of the 8 billion PF counters from Squad Leader...

Just a thought, is the 'System' limited to those ASL elements published by AH and MMP? Should be really, everything else is a 3rd party add on to 'the system'.

Is it really rare if it is used in all scenarios with German OB from mid -43 on? It's no more, or less, rare than the Finnish sniper counter.

Rarest counter or counter used the least therefore making its usage the rarest?

(of an event, situation, or condition) not occurring very often.


(of a thing) not found in large numbers and so of interest or value.

I think the OP was referring to the rarest counter not the rarest event where a counter is used. YMMV.

The Finnish sniper counter is valid, although there are many sniper counters in the system so a sniper counter is not a rare counter in that sense.

I'm enjoying both aspects of the thread, but from the original poster: "...what would be rarest counter that could come into play but you would be very rarely see?"

Exactly.

If a scenario is designed with an animal pack in it, you will use an animal pack counter.

Not sure what other example like the Japanese Hero there is in the system. You need back to back snakes to get one.

personally, I wish I could see Encircled counters come into play on my opponent's units more often. They are pretty rare for me to put into play, but it seems I get them put into play on my units far more often than I want. ;)

Should happen all the time, especially for my opponents. Odds are only 1296:1 or a 0.077% chance of it happening.

:D

One of the rarely used counters for me is REVERSE MOTION as I can't recall many times I've tried to back up out of trouble and keep moving into the next turn. But, I tend to shy away from large vehicle counts, desert scenarios, etc. where this might be more commonly seen.
I just used that one at Chicago last weekend; not my first time.
