As you know the counters for Recon By Fire 4 were printed with the "traditional" back of the sheet on the "Front" of the
countersheet. This detracted from these beautiful countersheets. We have worked hard to resolve this issue and are now pleased to
offer the replacement countersheets.
If you already purchased RbF-4, you can get replacement counters in a few ways.
1. We can send them separately to you now by ordering through our web site. (and pay a nominal shipping and handling charge)
2. Or you can ask them to be included in your next HoB order. In that case include your Recon 4 order number in the info section of a paypal order. (at a reduced S&H charge)
You can order counters as a stand-alone sheet and have your replacement shipped in the next product. We are working on two projects immediately for release in the next few months, and will remind you of your options.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and hope you understand our need to handled the situation as outlined.
