The Axis & Allies WWI game is a bit short of certain units with the base game. Some German units were a bit pricey, but the cruisers were just 5 cents, so one of the units that were easy to supplement. They were quality and matched the originally exactly.

Originally I had bought a few of these cruiser to supplement shortages that are sadly common in the A&A 1914 game. The price of 15 cents a unit cannot be beat after all. Afterwards though, having come into posession of some HBG Dark Grey German pieces to represent Hungary and Bulgaria in my custom house rule games, I noticed that the grey of the cruiser, and many of the pieces closely match the HBG Dark Grey pieces and so I bought a few more to represent cruiser and destroyer units for the combined, Hungarian-Bulgarian Alliance I have. It's a great piece really overall.
