When the overlay pack is printed could we also get an alternate selection of 5/8 inch terrain counters. 15 counters would take the place of most 5-4-3-2-1 overlays. The counters can just be like PFZ counters with orchard, pond, open ground, etc. There could be an optional rule (by agreement of both players) that the counters could be used in place of overlays. Much like the IIFT is optional (hoping to avoid that kind of debate). The rule could be the counter terrain is inherent to the hex it is in.
This would reduce the need for overlays on many scenarios and limit overlay use to buildings, hills, streams other larger overlays. I am not asking for a replacement of overlays...just a second option. Especially at the one or two hex type overlay. I would think two or three counter sheets could cover most of the overlays where this is possible. Plus give us crag counters since there is no overlay option.
I have noticed many overlay scenarios get reduced reported playing on ROAR. Maybe counters would be a good second option.
