Hey i rock, that list you put up looks like right about half of what you should have for US or UK, except for the bombers and cruisers as Col. Ty Webb mentioned. It does seem very odd that those two units would have the correct piece count yet all the rest is half of what they should be.
The way I see it, you have two options:
1 – Just get your own copy of the games and banish him forever from your land.
2 – Kill him and take his game. Then you will have ALL the pieces. BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!!
well there might be some legal problems killing him :roll: i dont have 100 bucks to spend on the pacific RIGHT now in like 4 months time mabey. though next time i see him ill take a shot with telling him were supposed to have the same number of peices. then im putting a black dot under mine.
If money was no objection, the empirical way of solving this problem would be to buy a fresh copy of both Pacific and Europe, sit down together with your friend, unwrap the plastic from one box, then open one by one each of the national sculpt packs inside, sort the pieces into categories, count them, record the totals on a prepared tally sheet, then repeat the process for the other box. Presumably that would convince him – though from what you’ve said, it’s possible he might raise the possibility that the boxes you bought were “defective sets” if the numbers didn’t match what he was expecting them to be. In which case more game sets would have to be bought and analyzed, with the cumulative results being subjected to various statistical tests until enough data had been accumulated to allow your friend to conclude with a reasonable degree of certainty that the official numbers of pieces are such-and-such. At which point all the surplus pieces could, perhaps, be resold via eBay or Coachofmany’s HBG site, as a way to recover part of the costs that went into this research project.
Alternately, you might simply find a less suspicious gaming partner. It would be much cheaper.
Or…trade him. Give him the half copy you have for something he has of equal value. Each having half the game is asking for trouble, especially with this guy who takes the pieces and then says they’re his. Give him the whole game then and find a new gaming partner! He really is weak sauce if he’s taking 75% of the pieces and claiming they are his.
okay in poor defence for my friend he didnt take them i think my dad put my british peices in the wrong box, but my friend says he needs all those 'accedentaly put in wrong box peice" for the pacific stand alone. but i doubt 50% of the time hell need 9ish tanks6 battleships 9 destroyers 5 carriers 28 infantry 9ish artillery 9ish mechanized 8ish bombers 8ish tac bombers because he likes having every thing chiped so hed have to have lots of seperate armys to need 28 infantry.
On my pieces I’ve painted them differently with the U.K. you could get a sharpie any color and do their helmets or their rifle’s. Just an idea
what color should i sharpi their helmets :?
well my friend will only reliquish 1 destroyer so im going to buy british and american peices i’ll need off HBG
its nice becuase its only costing $5.07 for:
British peices
8 infantry
3 halftrcks
4 Tanks
6 artillry
1 destroyer
2 cruisers
american
3 cruisers
3 fighters
1 tank
1 mech
2 artllery
Seriously? So are you never going to play with him again? I think you outta trade. This guy’s getting a great deal and now we see you shelling out more money to complete your set. Just trade him your copy for something of equal value. He can’t say ‘you got an incomplete set’ cause then he’s admitting he stole ur pieces!
Man, you got it rough Irock, time to find a real gaming buddy! Do you live in Canada or something? You’d be surprised how easy it can be to find gaming partners. Try craigslist, or put up a sheet of paper at your local hobby store looking for opponents. I can’t believe you’re willing to put up with this guys actions. Its really not very ‘human’ of either of you.
he has nothing to trade. and i only play with he a small portion of the time, i mostly play with my unkles and dad. for reasons others have stated.
nothing to trade? He must live outside then. The game costs like 60 bucks, he’s gotta have something thats worth that much.
However, I have a simpler solution for you. Over on Boardgamegeek.com they have an entire parts list for the 1940 pacific. Since this guy owns nothing, I suggest printing out a copy from their website. If your ‘friend’ doesn’t believe BGG’s website, then he’s absolutely clueless, must have never owned a computer, and will never give you back what’s yours, whether it has your sharpie initials on it or not.
Here’s the link to every unit included in a Pacific 1940 game. If he has extra, then either he’s bought another copy with the nothing he owns or he’s stolen yours.
