[split from DIY Counters] zovs - "What to start with in PG?"

[tlangston28]

Okay, so this is from APL web site, the Print and Play that they list here are not die cut counters or are they?

Print and Play (AP)

And this one does not list counters but is a print edition?

What is this?

Also, would it be worth the $35 to become a Gold Member?

If it has (download) after it then you're just getting a PDF. It's up to you to make that into a real boy, err, real game.

Re:2nd link, print edition means you'll get it on paper, probably one of those plastic toothed bindings but I don't own a copy so can't verify. There are no counters for Army Group South Ukraine as PG-HQ's Library makes clear.

To me Gold Club Membership appears to be (I phrase thus because I have never enrolled) a shameless scam to take advantage of people with too much disposable income, but there are members among us who seem to enjoy it. I look forward to their passionate defenses.

I had joined the Gold Club last year and did get some fairly decent discounts off of games, especially those sales that were on top of discounts sent out in the mailers. I also got some free downloads of DIY counters (Marshal's Fist, etc), however, I never got the 64 page annual and now that APL has stated that sales will be far less frequent, I don't know if I will re-enroll. However, they will send one of three games for free for enrolling (Alsace 45, Gazala 42, or Red Vengeance) so does that make it worth the price?
