Punch-out playing pieces are included in both boxes.
I wholeheartedly and unreservedly agree with this decision.
The minis in this game are certainly fantastic, but having an official option for mech tokens for those that can't put big dollars into minis is a fantastic nod to making the game accessible. Hopefully new players appreciate it as well.
SIDE NOTE ON THE UNSEEN: In my opinion, the game does need the unseen, but mostly for balance reasons. In the 3025 era, which is one of the simpler and more easily balanced eras, taking out the unseen removes some really important units and leaves some rather annoying gaps when you try to actually play there. In my opinion anyway. The Heavy bracket especially gets gutted without the unseen. So, while the game doesn't really need the unseen to look any specific way, I feel like it DOES need units with their stats available in 3025. Make 'em look like whatever you have to, but you really need things like Warhammers and Crusaders if you want to play in the late succession wars, which are still a fun place to play. Does it need to happen ASAP? Probably not, but no matter which way the lawsuit goes, I hope we get those mechs visible and with new minis, whatever they look like, again.
