The counter sheet included with the review copy (partly punched) had several oddities about it. First and foremost, it was printed backwards from normal conventions, such that what is normally the front of the counters instead contained the obverse information. Second, the printing on many of the counters was offset towards the bottom of the counter; in no case were any of the counters unusable, but it may take a bit of time to interpret the bottom row of numbers on some of the counters. Third, the die-cutting was odd; while it was quite thorough around most of each counter, the upper left and upper right corners weren’t cut at all, so you’ll need to cut these yourself. This may be good for collectors (it would be nearly impossible to accidentally punch these counters), but it’s something players will find irritating.

Lastly, two of the counters in the review copy had their front and backs separate upon punching (this could be due to age); this was fixed with a touch of glue. [Note: a vertical bar ( | ) is used to differentiate front from back.]

Ground Units
[Ground Combat Factor (left); AAA/ SAM Attack Factor (middle); Movement Factor (right)]. In addition to the numeric values associated with the unit, each counter contains a standard NATO symbol for the type of unit, its size and its designation. The backs of many counters show a different unit desig-nation (usually a sub-unit of the main unit, used for breakdown purposes or to show damage).

Replacement/Additional

If your copy of the game comes with The Falklands War Update Kit you’ll find the following counters (British vessels). They’re printed in black ink on a red background, and are on the bottom of the sheet of paper that makes up the update kit. These must be cut out and mounted (fronts and backs) on blank counters. The vessel names in the review copy were somewhat hard to read.
