You are totally right Plum, the game is not worth the money they charged. The map IS amazing, the gameplay IS really fun. But you nailed it with the boxes, paper money, IPC chart, cardboard pieces, lack of tac bombers. I mean, I paid basically the same money for this game as I paid for my copy of AA50 and this AA40 Pacific is missing lots of the quality that AA50 had.
Exactly! I was totally content with how they presented AA50. Everything was high quality and all aspects of the game and its components were top notch. Totally worth the money I spent on it.
While this game certainly has some high quality aspects about it, (especially the game play, which is all that really counts in the end) there are so many small blunders it’s really frustrating. The income chart is what gets me the most. It seems like the day before they shipped the game out somebody realized “Oh crap! We forgot income charts!” and then threw together the first thing they thought of and tossed it in the box. I’m surprised they weren’t scribbled on a piece of notebook paper.
