Well I bought some pieces from HBG. Bought more than I needed but thats mostly because I love the ottoman color of troops haha.
Not Enough Pieces!!
-
If your lookin to add some peices here and there then im sure HBG will be selling them at some point…so u can just add what u need
-
How they can charge so much for so few units I will never know.
There should be at least double that, I mean how many parts did Europe 1940 have?
-
Perhaps some stores will ignore the MSRP and sell it for less. Considering CSI is selling the preorder for $65, they have to still be making a profit.
I bet other stores could offer it at 10% or 20% off as a special.

I will be selling sets of pieces on eBay once I get the games. Â Keep a look out for them. Â I will also be selling the game boards and extras for those that do not care about using pieces from other games to play. Â Usually a good way to get the game and set up charts and instructions without pieces for a lower price.

I will be looking Bobo I shop on ebay a lot and I was thinking the same thing about these pieces as well. 6 fighters and 6 subs should have been what you got with this game. Typical Wizards of the Cheap move.
-
My only thought is that with so many countries in a small area of the world, you may not need more than 4 tanks, 4 planes, 4 subs, etc. I mean, how many territories will you have a stack of units in with tanks and/or planes? As Germany, probably no more than 2 on the west front and 2 on the east? Would you have tanks and planes in all four of these and then try and build more? I would probably try and protect my tanks/planes and have a single stack on each front with one or two of each on their way to the front.
Other than Germany, I doubt you’d use more than two tank or plane sculpts.
As far as subs go, who will buy more than a couple of them other than Germany? As Germany I’d probably use them in wolfpacks anyway- also some to attack Allied ships. How many separate sea zones will you have German subs?
Than again, I haven’t played the game yet- just speculating that we may have enough sculpts- Tanks and Planes were not as widespread as in WWII - in addition to the smaller map than we are used to with AA1940 Global.

What price would you be selling them for and can I place an order right now?
-
And there is this crazy guy who sells literally hundreds of pieces. I have no idea what he is doing because he never runs out of these 200 piece “lots”.
His name is RandyWayne something. I picture his house is full of pieces to the ceiling and he just swims in pieces to move around. And i am not kidding that is no embellishment.
-
Hahaha! IL that was the best visual picture ever. The only nations that will need pieces are Germany, UK, and Austria
-
He has been selling these lots for at least 2 years constantly. I don’t even think he has a job except this…LOL
-
For this reason I always just buy 2 copies of all the AA games: AA41, AA42, AAP40, AAE40, and now AA1914. Â They have NEVER made enough pieces through the years. Â You are always short a few pieces. Â It sucks but that’s the way it is.
-
I’ll just wait until HBG has the individual A&A 1914 pieces for sale. By then, I’m sure I’ll know how many pieces of what unit and for which country are “missing.”
-
Yeah, these games never seem to have enough pieces. That’s why I pre-ordered two copies; one for the game itself and the second simply for extra pieces. I am hoping that will be enough.
-
I’d say, wait until you play the game a few times before you got about there not being enough pieces.

This is ridiculous!
Europe came with 610 pieces and Pac with at least 550. They were both 65$.
Now we have to pay 65 for a game with 400 pieces. All the sculpts are the same except infantry.I bought 42.2 for 42$ at CSI. The game had 410 pieces but each faction had their own sculpts.
I don’t mind faction having same sculpt for each alliance. (In other A&A, uk and usa shared transports tanks and guns). But opposite factions having same art and same boats is a shame.I’m not saying this game is trash, in fact the new combat system representing trench warfare sounds really cool. But the price tag is ridiculous. I"m not ready to throw 65$ of my money for this. The price should be around 42.2 price. 40-50$ MAX! ( All of these above in US price. 1914 is selling for 85$ shipping not included, here in Canada.)
My point is that I am not ready to pay 65$ for this. But if someone gave it to me as a gift I would play and surely enjoy it for sure.

-
I will be putting these up as auctions. Probably start a set at $3.99. I’ll know for sure when I get my first copy of the game and get a count of everything.

I was talking about europe 1940 2nd edition and pac 1940 second edition
-
For anyone interested, I hope to have my first sets up for sale on eBay tonight or tomorrow.

Now we have to pay 65 for a game with 400 pieces. All the sculpts are the same except infantry.I suspect that this is all part of a WotC master plan to set up a second edition for 2014. “Buy the A&A WWI 1914 Centennial Edition! Contains more pieces! Contains all-new nation-specific sculpts! Contains brand-new unit types!”
