Disapointed

Face it, the only thing good about this game is the concept.

Don’t you think that’s a bit harsh? I for one am thankful that we have any new A&A games after 25 years and there is a company out there willing to produce them for us. I agree with many of WOTC’s short comings, but I’m happy they picked up the A&A ball when other companies decided to give up.
So here’s a RARE hat’s off to WOTC. :-)

Picked up the ball and fumbled.

LOL! If only Larry threw an Interception to Imperious Leader or FMG! :P

Just throw the ball to anyone who is not wearing a WOTC Chimps jersey.

I think it’s shaping up to be one of the best A&A’s that has been produced thus far in terms of complexity, detail, balance and over all fun. It is a truly amazing game
This game is FAR from balanced, it is should not even be considered unbalanced, it is BROKEN. Don’t agree? Setup the game. Now, replace every tac bomber that isn’t on a carrier with a tank. Then look at the board. Would you consider this game balanced at the start? The INSANE amount of air power the Japanese get to start the game is ridiculous. Attack J1, by J2 you are taking the DEI. Game over. Every time. This game was designed for 12 yr olds who like to buy copious amounts of units and take it slow for some huge battle involving 32 CV’s. Wait, they didn’t give you enough for that, use chips OR MY FAVORITE FROM THE RULEBOOK, PIECES OF PAPER! Really. You are telling me to write on pieces of paper. I could have done that on my own and gone to KINKOS to print off a scan of the map, DL’d the rulebook, and saved $70. THANKS WOTC! You boned me yet again.

It’s more like Lizards of the Coast since they only think with the reptile brain which always wants to eat (make money).

More satisfied customers?

Oh, I am enjoying the game and looking forward to the Europe remake. I have to agree with the major complaints though, no money??? I mean its fine for many of us that have every other AA game, we can just cannibalize them. But if you didn’t own a previous edition you would have no play money, and honestly, I am an artists and not the best at math, so actually holding the money really helps me!! Also its fun to take away when you capture a capital, like booty, rape and pillage and so on.
-
how about the fact that the IPC tracking goes to 48. That’s fun. Esp when US/JAP are earning more than that by turn 4 even if you take it slow as Japan. Right, they gave us the wrong piece of cardboard, I know. That’s good qual control. Why am I going to buy Europe? How broken and cheap will that game be? They aren’t winning me over with Cust Service either. Want me and others happy? Send me double the units, the correct cards, and some plastic AA guns. Hell, just reprint AA50, put it out for $90 and I’ll be ok with this abortion of a game, provided the quality of a 50 reprint doesn’t mirror this one!
-
Yeah, 50 was really good, except for the limited run, I really wish I had bought 2 or 3 of them.

Yeah, you and everyone else.

I can deal with the lack of money (been writing income down on paper since Revised) but the abundant typos and the lack of pieces is stupid.
-
money is remedied at kinkos for 3 bux. I can’t find a local plastic infantry maker chain…

Since WOTC is not going to make the money anymore they should post a .pdf of the money so that we can print it out ourselves. Hell if they give me permission I’ll post it myself.
-
waiting for someone to suggest we use monopoly money…

It has already been suggested somewhere else. It might have even been me.

I wish there were more chips. I had to break into a few of the other axis and allies games to get some extra chips last night. At first I didnt think I needed to but the infantry stalemate in Asia is necessary.
Oh, and after playing half of my first game (as United States) it seems like Japan has waaay too many planes, it starts with like 30 of them? Just seems waay to overpowered. -
more chips would be solved if they gave us more units! I shouldn’t have to have all my AA pieces in big ziplock bags and a stack of maps. God forbid you LOST a Jap Tac bomber, SCREWED for setup.

Oh, how time will time how wrong you are!
This game has not even been out for two weeks, and you think you solved it?
You think you are that smart, to declare AAP40 broken already.
Some made claims about AA50 Axis, but others started trying differnet things in the Pacific(AA50) to slow down Japan. Give the game 6 months (or a year, but we all know that Global Game imbalance claims will start and people will not play AAP40 as much) to see what solutions people come up with for the Allies.
Give the puzzle a chance man, give it a chance.
