Counters or Sprites?

[OxfordGuy3]

I was wondering whether the majority of people prefer playing with counters or sprites? I've only really played CEAW with the GS mod and have always gone for counters, perhaps because I used to play Avalon Hill's Third Reich, then World in Flames, then Totaler Krieg! But I still reckon its clearer to see what's going on with counters... Anyway, would be interested to hear other people's views on the matter. Don't get me wrong, I love the unit graphics in CEAW, and its great to see a new tank or air unit icon due to a tech upgrade, but you see this in the unit information screen anyway...
