Axis and Allies Money!!

[buicksuper]

Boy I would really like to see the money come back into play with the new games.  I have the old original '80's money I still use.  I cant stand the National Production Markers.  Any body else with me?

[Dylan the Canadian]

I just sometimes use the Monopoly money.

Couldn't agree with you more, I can't stand just using the national production markers.  I feel like I have to spent it all or else I will lose it.  Thank goodness I have money from the other versions of axis and allies to play with.

I'm the same way, I hope they bring money back because that was easy and a fun way to track your income.

I am glad the money is gone and resources used for other game parts.

Too many mistakes with money.

"Opps, did I pay the bank?"

"I forgot the pay the bank."

"I grabbed the wrong country's money."

"I put my cash back on the wrong countries pile of money"

"Whose countries IPC's are on the floor?"

“I forgot to collect income last time, how much am I suppose to get?”

[hammerfadl]

I still use the money of one of our older AA games, not sure which one tbh

But it depends really, I sometimes find it just as good having count with pen and paper just writing it all.

I can play with or w/o yet I do prefer it.  I have saved (still sealed) a few packs of money from other games Old Europe/Pacific and Extra AA50 cash that I will use for this game.  Hmmm... sounds like another job for FieldMarshallGames!!!

I hate using money, way too many mistakes, you have to spend time counting it to see how much you have and have 4 separate piles if your playing solo with the allies. I am glad to see the cheap paper money gone. I use this chart someone posted in the 1942 board, just change the countries names, it works so much better than cash, no lost money, ever. Note *This chart may have been a useful inclusion to the game so that one could simply photocopy more but hey fixing these small problems are what these forums are for.

I am with you. WOTC are just being cheap bastards.

If you guys need more money for some reason, you can check out the IPC thread started by CalvinHobbesLiker for some templates to print off. Some of you may have alreaady found this though.

Soon it will be like the original NOVA games version.

I would be willing to pay more for a quality game, with real pieces instead of cardboard squares and with paper IPCs instead of none... I guess they just don't want to increase the price any more because most people wouldn't want to pay more.

For the bases and factories, which don't move, the cardboard squares are actually god for the following reasons:
1. They take up less space than plastic versions
2. They have a texture such that it doesn't get displaced easily, like other pieces
The only AA guns which I've seen moved are the ones in India and Manchuria, and I've only seen new ones bought to replace the one in India.
