OK people.......Paper or Plastic?

For all you board gamers out there:

Many games out there on the market today, utilized cardboard counters to depict units of infantry, artillery, vehicles. These follow in the long line of the ancients (as in the icons such as Avalon Hill, Victory Games, SPI), but with greater emphasis on graphics color and art. They are truly works of art to the old Grognard in all of us!

Many games out on the market today utilize plastic figure miniatures, reminiscent of the the toy soldiers many of us played with in our youth, but smaller and in many cases, more detailed. To a child of the 60's, these minis bring back fond memories of tons of soldiers lined up all over the living room floor!

The former can be more the fare of the grognard, whereas the latter more the casual board gamer.....both have an appeal to a different want or need.

So I ask again, Paper or Plastic?
