IL,
––I’ve come to prefer the new HBG markers for some of the same reasons you’ve just mentioned: They’re thicker, thus easier to pick-up and they are have much improved graphics and colors over the OOB markers. See below: OOB on left,….HBG on right.
----For most ot the “standard” territory markers, I still prefer having the bases of my Infantry units painted with their national insignia, thus making it unecessary to have to use “territory markers” at all.
