Get rid of the cardboard
-
I’ll concede this point as well. But you can always borrow from your other copies of the game, including AA42.
@Craig:
I agree with the facility units, the IC, ports and airfields, they fit on cardboard. But the AA-gun that move with the army, that should be plastic. It feels silly to move a cardboard AA-gun together with plastic tanks and artillery.
This is the only real part issue that should have been done differently. The AA unit that moves with the land units should be a plastic part.
Even better, they should have been color/nation specific and subject to destruction during combat, but that is another discussion. :-D -
Leaving out the money is kind of a pain… but honestly guys… if you are buying AAP40 we all know you have STACKS of IPC cash lying around the house in your other AAA games.
This game is not for the light weight AAA player.

We use our own chart to track stuff. It has all powers on 1 sheet by round with the starting IPC’s. I’m sure many of us use something similar. We track IPC’s earned from tt, NO’s, $ saved from last turn, and war bonds if you have them (reminder). It also tracks how many researches (dice) and the techs you have. It makes life much easier. That way there is no questions about did I get paid for this or that, or the markers on the production board shifted. You can also track progress gained or lost. It also helps if you have to finish your game on another day.
Even with the chart, most of us still like the IPC’s to buy units though. I guess its because that’s what we’re used to. -
im going to canibalize my old copies of revised, and europe for Industrial Complexes, AA Guns and IPCs.
thats going to happen the day I get the game.Thumbs down on the cardbord factories.
-
I shouldn’t have to cannabilize my old games for some paper money and plastic pieces which might have only added a slight cost to the game. WOTC are a bunch of cheap bass-turds. The games are great but it wouldn’t take much to improve the quality.

I have been using poker chips the past few years.
I still have IPC’s wrapped in plastic

Not supplying money is like selling Yahtzee without scorepads

Or dice for that matter… :lol:
-
Yeah I can make my own Yahtzee for a fraction of the price. And after FMG makes game pieces I will be able to make my own A&A games.
-
At least for me, I have no problem with the lack of IPC’s. I have too many of them already from my other A&A games.
-
I have plenty of monopoly money I could use too, but I would rather keep my game pieces with their respective games so that I keep my games complete.
-
I can understand that.
-
Some of the old IPC notes are a little….dated, really a shame that paper money went by the wayside
-
And it is also a shame that AA Gun and factory pieces went by the wayside as well.

me and my friends use an electronic banking system from monopoly.
just add a zero to the end of all the amounts. -
Good news. FMG is going to make nation specific major and minor factory pieces, AA guns, air bases and naval bases. Hooray for FMG.
-
I second that notion that they went a little cheap by not having some basic things like paper money. The cardboard pieces I can let slide because you can argue that they save space, but the money, dividers and little touches like that are what separates the great games from the good ones.
-
And now they can’t even spell correctly.
-
Will FMG produce additional pieces? Or can they do so being brought to justice for copyright purposes?
-
I would just replace the pieces as FMG pieces will be much nicer.
