[QUOTEThe most costly thing in the box were the aircraft counters. Rich Banner did them based on the style of profiles done in Aircraft in Profile. I am convinced that inside every graphics artist lies a Rembrandt screaming to get out. The problem was no one made a die to cut that size of counter, so GDW had one made.
Was there a particular reason why the decision was made to make the counters (and hexes) that large?
I don't think I've played a wargame with such big hexes and counters.
I mean, other air-combat wargames look at Blue Max and get serious hex/counter envy!
I was suprised also. I expected the counters to be smaller too. While I don't know for sure, I think it might have been to show off the artwork. This was done before the days of laser printing and computer graphix and after all the time Rich put in on it I'm sure he wanted it to be seen. |
