You obviously had an intuitive sense of the BL/BR division of labor that I

You probably also realized that the BL/BR hex grid was so large in order
to permit/encourage/require/reward use of minis.
But it also did allow us to use larger counters with garish ship paint
schemes on them, which is always nice. I put the Maryland flag on as many
things as I possibly can. And the Blue Angels paint job, and Richard
Petty's colors.
