I’ve been coming here and lurking for a little while now.  This is the site where I first learned of both P40 and E40 and was excited about being able to expand the A&A experience for myself.  With the problems I’ve heard of with this printing of the game I think I’ll wait and see if they fix things in the second printing.

I myself don’t have a problem with using the markers as I find the regular game board can get quite overcrowded and I can understand the need for cost cutting, they are after all running a business and need to make a profit.  Misprints for setup, stats, the wrong battle strip plus the problem of not having enough pieces for splitting your forces or trying different tactics isn’t cost cutting but poor quality.  That is not good business and also hurts their profit.  Win my money back WOTC!
