The thing that drew me to the game back when it arrived in the 90s was that it actually looked like a proper 1/300 tabletop wargame. Just like the normal games we played down at the wargames club with the WRG and TTG rules sets, and harking back to the original rules I had played using Airfix 1/72 models since 1969 or so after buying a copy of Terry Wises "Introduction to Battle Gaming", and then the later books of Donald Featherstone, Charles Grant et al.
So why ruin the original SSI design by replacing models with paper-shuffling bored game counters of the Avalon Hill variety?
Boring NATO symbol counters would totally destroy the games look and feel as a proper tabletop wargame using model soldiers.
