The counters are a VAST improvement.
Whats up with the cards? Are they for activation?

That is exactly what I thought with regards to the counters!

Yep. Card deck instead of chits in a cup.

Also note no unit designations on the counters. Just the coloured strip to match with formation cards. makes it easier to change up formation names and other attributes.

I guess that will save on counter count.

They're not going to be able to do "upgrade kits" for the old games, right? I think David said they had to make too many changes to be able to retrofit the original games. Certainly seems like it based on those pics.

Yes I think that's right. Rules have changes, maps have change, etc. Even the values on the counters have swapped locations.

Not a big deal really to buy new. I loved the old games, but they were not without their flaws.

He was consulted about a time travel plot, but LnL ultimately passed.

Given how much stuff I play on mobile throughout the day, I doubt that.  But traditional tabletop wargaming?  Yeah, you probably do
