(More customer reviews)The game itself is great. Having only played the 1941 version before I was nervous about some of the rule changes. But the game plays well, and the new navy boats and artilery pieces make for more diverse battles. My biggest problem is two things: 1) Wizards of the Coast doesn't provide you w/any money for the game. The instruction book says "Keep track of your IPC's ($) with a piece of paper and pencil." LAME! C'mon Wizards, would it have realy killed costs to throw in a couple of paper bills? Next time, give less navy units to Russia (cause it's not like anyone ever buys them) and include some $$. And 2) You are suppose to use the grey and red chips under your units to represent multiple units; but they dont even give you enough chips to set the game board up in the begining! You have to resort to using some upsidedown country flag token things right off the bat. We used to do this in the 1941 edition also. But normally not until the game was underway. You at least had enough chips to set the board up. So again, c'mon Wizards, why so skimpy with the chips?? Do they really cost that much?!
