Someone pointed out that you remove all blue on white counters in the Rally Phase and so the Swedes were losing every scenario pretty early on...So it appears from the images available on MMP's Facebook page that the Swedish Volunteer counters are either German colored or close to German colored as opposed to the blue on white counters of the original. If so, is there anything to distinguish the set of counters as SVs? Asking for a friend with a counter storage addiction ...
In Finland we call DM counter "a swedish Volunteer"Someone pointed out that you remove all blue on white counters in the Rally Phase and so the Swedes were losing every scenario pretty early on...
Well, you'll easily discern the difference immediately, when the counters begin to talk.So it appears from the images available on MMP's Facebook page that the Swedish Volunteer counters are either German colored or close to German colored as opposed to the blue on white counters of the original. If so, is there anything to distinguish the set of counters as SVs? Asking for a friend with a counter storage addiction ...
Yes, the counters have different color, values, and depictions than German color.So it appears from the images available on MMP's Facebook page that the Swedish Volunteer counters are either German colored or close to German colored as opposed to the blue on white counters of the original.

The shade of the SV could be quite close some iterations of the Germans (mine have different shades, coming from diverse printings).Chas has posted an image here: http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?14@@.ee6d502/124684
that show all the combatants in SV side-by-side.
We'll see and take what comes.MMP speak of an original colour.
Not sure yellow-on-blue would be a good enough contrast. The Turn marker is that way though.I was wondering if they would be yellow figures-numbers on navy blue (i.e. darker that the French blue), but I apparently was wrong.
I've played all but one of the original SV scenarios, and I never once had an problem with the original blue-on-white counters, not did any of my opponent.At one point I experimented with printing my own set of SV counters and thought the blue on white problematic with the info counters. So I tried a yellow field with blue border (both desaturated from the Swedish flag) and the result didn't make me immediately vomit ...
Blue Border, White middle, Blue text/linework. That would have worked too.Not sure yellow-on-blue would be a good enough contrast. The Turn marker is that way though.
I thought it was for Snow.The Inuit have 50 or so words for 'white'.
