OK, I will start with a few confessions.
- Yes, I am a total newb and really have no real use for any of these products (yet! there is a yet.)
- But, i'm obsessive....and I want them
I am researching in several places and having a difficult time distinguishing the exact nature of some (many?) of the CH counter sets for sale. My search skills are for sure not what the should be. I ordered some offbeat ones (Polish - Norwegian - US Rangers) to get a feel for them. Before I go spending a lot more $$, any help would be appreciated. There is not much description on the CH site and the picture isn't detailed enough (or include all the sheets) to do a real comparison. So...
a. Are some of the counter sets identical with different names? (e.g. Gold Beach Khaki British and Sword Beach Khaki British)
b. Are the Nationality sets duplicates of counters you would get in MMP modules but with different graphics and color? (and I'm not saying that is a bad thing at all) (e.g. Nationality Set 1 for the US and the counters you get in Yanks)
c. Are some counter sets duplicates of what you would get in the Nationality Sets but they are a sub-set that is included in one of the games? (e.g. ASL Western Front St. Lo and Nationality Set 1)
d. There appear to be scattered counters that would not appear in MMP products correct? (e.g. Russian Lend Lease vehicles)
e. Is there any set that might reasonably duplicate the counters that come with Croix de Guerre?
f. Is there any source that explains in reasonable detail the actual contents of each of the counter sets?
Any insight you can give me would be appreciated. Feel free to expand on my questions but I thought it best to start with some specific ones. Thanks for helping out the new guy.
