@Veqryn:
isn’t “extra pieces, just the way you want them” what FMG is for?
in my mind, I do not expect any A&A games to include money, or to have great detail in their plastic pieces, and the use of cardboard for certain pieces is also ok. all these things save money, which translates in a lower price for the game, which is good for me.
What I do not accept, is errors on the game board and errors in the rule book and setup charts. Pacific was a F-ing disaster in that regard.
Yeah i seriously doubt adding some paper money is going to jack up the price :P
It is more likely they cut out these extras to save on cost purely as a profit measure.
Just like they rushed Pacific, what a mess.
I myself have very high expectations for this game.
A&A not including paper money is not unlike monopoly doing the same thing.
Little things like this can discourage new players, which is never a good thing.
I have very hopes for the revised editions of G40 and cant wait til it comes out.
Cardboard chits for bases and ICs actually work quite well, but id like to see plastic pieces for AA guns back.
