I was clipping away happily at the counters in my newly acquired copy of Yanks when it hit me for the first time - and Ive been involved with ASL for decades.
Why in the hell are there so many of each type of vehicle in the counter mix?
Ive never seen a scenario with more than just a few, normally one or two, of a given vehicle. Even the GINORMOUS scenarios have a half dozen tracks or trucks or whatever.
And you can field a dozen or more of the same exact model Sherman, 3 of the flame thrower variants in the same firefight, enough halftracks to mobilize a battalion!
Any idea why the overkill? Are there really players out there throwing together scenarios on 10 boards with 20+ tanks to the side and such? Or are they just filling counter sheets and emptying our wallets?
