Texas Arrows on KS

[panzerde]

Trunk o' games arrived today. Very impressive looking at first glance. Deeper boxes to hold the counter trays. The scenario cards are a nice touch, too. It's nice to have the counter trays, though they seem to be a bit lighter and flimsier than I expected. Sizeable, though.

Did I mention that they came with a package of limited edition Hobnobs, and a coupon I can redeem for my own full-scale T-34 or Panther tank? You're really gonna love this stuff Bob, if _{it ever arrives in the UK...}

[bob48]

I know I can always rely on you to cheer me up. Thanks, Doug.

You know you said there was a "second edition" Ghost Panzers coming out (or out??)....are you getting rid of your first addition? If so, bagsy first up dibs? 

[bob48]

Yeah - no worries - I'll PM you later mate - just off out for a while.

[JudgeDredd]

oh - excellent. Name your price - I ain't looking for no stinkin' freebies  ;D

[bob48]

WOOT!

All the new stuff arrived today. Impressed by the quality of the components, although the storage trays are nothing to shout about.

Pretty much exactly my assessment, too.

Ditto  :(

I don't get it.  How bad can a counter tray be?  The worst I saw were some with a hinge between the cover and base.  The nightmare being increased probability of spilling and mixing counters opening and closing the tray.

[panzerde]

They aren't terrible. They're just made of a really light, thin plastic, and, IMO, sort of a weird arrangement of wells for holding the counters. I think the disappointment is that they were probably over-hyped as part of the KS, and what we got was just pretty ho-hum. If you went all-in for the three games and all of the extras, and then waited a long time to finally get it all to show up, the trays were a let down.

Ah I see.  Well that makes sense.  I just live in the happy ignorance of only using GMT trays.

I just ordered 20 more GMT trays, and while I probably won't use any of them for these games unless the included trays just turn out unworkable, I'm tempted!
