counters free-standing rather than sitting on a counter like a more traditional board game.
I presume that means like chess pieces or like Strategic Command 2.
Most units were a mixture of various arms, though some might be tank heavy and some infantry heavy.
I hope each and every armoured unit is not represented by a Tiger tank like Grisby's A World at War.
