So not the cool plastic components we saw in some earlier pictures. Lame.

Dont get why people want wooden components so badly
I would guess that it's more of an issue that the publisher wanted to get the game out in time for Essen but the plastic pieces weren't ready yet, so they included the wooden bits for those customers who wanted the game right away and couldn't wait the extra couple of months.
I guess I prefer these wooden meeples, even tokens. Don't exactly know why. Plastic figures may look a bit...unh..greasy ? Mind you, I love my memoir 44 bad ass dudes !
As someone who grew up on cheapish games with bad plastic tokens/figures/meeples, I love wooden pieces as it look & feel more uhmm, 'crafty' and expensive.
