Re: latest trend in original counters: no info, just image
I think if you were going to do a flat counter with no stats on it, an overhead view of the unit (such as you see with the ODE counters) would look better. It would really be almost like having flat miniatures at that point.
Also, the stand-up counters are cool, and they make maneuvering the units a lot easier than flat counters. But unless your hexes are ginormous, they make stacking units a PITA. |

I find the profile and 3/4 ground views better than overhead, as the units have more unique silhouettes than they do top-down appearance.

I never use the word iconic but it fits here: the original silhouettes are iconic, and never to be topped as representations of the units.. |

And I can remember putting those counters together on a little light table . . .
