Box is one of the ugliest boxes I've seen in some time. It is a highly-magnified out of focus black and white picture of some onrushing soldiers. It makes you want to get contacts. The illustration on the back of the box was far better and should have been used instead. The quality of the box seems lower than past GRD games.
Counters look good.
GRD games historically have not improved on the GDW counters of the 1970s and this is no exception. Almost all of the counters are military units. As per any GRD game, the range and variety of units presented are immense. Orders of Battle. The thickest books in the game.
