But not New Orleans. I cannot fathom it. Two sets of countersheets come with the game. The vast majority of them are simply markers or troop strength markers. The key counters in the game are the leader counters, of course, and this is what everybody wants to see.
Leaders basically have three ratings.
The first is the strategy rating, where the lower is the better. Basically if you have a low strategy rating it means you are aggressive and easy to activate. If you have a high strategy rating, they have to light a fire under your butt to get you to move. The third rating, not seen in previous games in this series, is the political value, which essentially means how hard you are to remove. The surprising thing about the leaders is how few of them there are.
