The simple thought of new players is why money should have been included. The experienced players don’t need the money. In the base AA42 game money should have been included as a learning tool. In the AA40 games the complexity goes way up. For a newer player the more help to simplify things the better. These games at the very least should have offered a tracking chart in the rule book that could be copied. I would suggest to newer players to use poker chips, money from other games, or make up a chart to track money including NO’s by nation.
UK Starting Income

Not sure if this has been addressed before, but I can only count 16 IPCs worth of territories they start out with. Thats less than the 17 the rules says they should start with. The territories I am counting are:
India: 3
Malaya: 3
Kwangtung: 3
Borneo: 4
Burma: 1
Shan State: 1
British Columbia: 1Their other territories, Samoa, Fiji, Gilbert Islands, and Ceylon, produce no income. Where is the single missing IPC?

Hi and welcome CoachNut. You are right to say it is 16 in Pacific.
In Global, West India (2 IPCs) is swapped for British Columbia, making the Pacific economy 17 and Europe 28, instead of 29.
This makes sense as BC is part of Canada and West India, next to India.
Hope that clears up the discrepancy. -
Thanks! Yes it does, just noticed the oddity playing Pacific last night.
