Well I bought some pieces from HBG. Bought more than I needed but thats mostly because I love the ottoman color of troops haha.
Wizard of the coast is sending out additional playing pieces
-
Just got mine. Same units, different mix of chips; mine weighted towards the red/brown colours 37/14, 30/11 blue.
Could’ve done with an extra US & UK transport, but mustn’t grumble.
Need some yellow chips for cavalry now…
I did get mine today. It took some time as I am in Europe.
6 Infantry
5 Artillery
2 Tanks
2 Fighters
2 Battleships
3 Cruisers
2 Subs
3 TransportPER nation :-)
Plus chips, oddly not identocal for cengral powers (blue) and allies (red).
47 chips blue/CP ( 10 dark- and 37 light blue)
37 chips red/Allied (15 dark- and 22 light red).A very god service and quite usefull the chips, fighets and land units!

THat is good. I am awaiting mine.

From what I gather, IL’s game will offer the pieces seperately, in addition to the game itself? I’m interested in both, but the added game pieces are always useful for A&A 1914 variants or other similar themed games.
-
I got mine today. Am not counting them, but I got two boxes and there seem to be more pieces than I need!
Very happy.200 pieces and 90 counters.

Today is my 7 th day of waiting. Hope they arive soon.:)

Sent my email on Sunday and received my pieces today. Four days total, but Sunday was a weekend, and Monday was a holiday, so it was really only two business days.
I basically received an additional half of what was included in the original box:
For each power:
6 infantry
5 artillery
2 tanks
2 fighters
2 battleships
2 subs
3 cruisers
3 transportsI also received a total of 80 chips:
7 dark blue
38 light blue
3 dark red
32 light red -
Received my pieces today. Took them about 3 weeks from the US all the way to Berlin. It is the same unit mix as mentioned some posts above.

Sent email yesterday, patterned off the previously posted template, reply today from WotC:
Thank you for contacting us, blah blah… “Axis and Allies 1914 does come with the appropriate pieces for game play, as the intent for the game is to be quick and have fierce battles. We are no longer supporting requests for additional pieces”
“If you are missing pieces we will gladly assist you in replacing the missing pieces.”
Followed by a catalogue of pieces for each army (no mention of chips) and a statement that if I have all those, that I’ve got all the pieces needed to play.
“If you have found that you are missing pieces, we can assist you. Please reply to this email with all of the following information for potential replacement purposes.”
Name, address, phone (?), specific pieces
…so, am I eBaying, or am I now “missing” a bunch of chips and various infantry/artillery/etc?
It figures they’d cut it off right as I put my request in… /sigh
-
That’s some bull$#!+ right there. So the ONE thing that people were applauding about this mess of a game release, their customer service, they are now going back on? C’mon WOTC…
Anyway, make sure to check out http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/Axis-Allies-1914_c_427.html if you want to buy extra pieces without having to go to Ebay.

Here’s a video about a famous person who’s having similar problems with WotC:

Haha, “or a piece of paper with the unit name written on it”

Thanks Marc.
I always enjoy those vids.
I like so many of the lines, but I particularly liked: I am not buying Europe. They will probably only give Germany 3 Mech Inf! -

Yes, the people who made that video did a great job of coming up with hilarious lines with which many A&A fans can sympathize. One of my favourite parts is the “don’t get me started” inventory of game flaws, capped by a diatribe about the errata sheet rewrites. And I always crack up when he claims that “I even got to play Larry Harris once, and beat him!”

I’m enjoying the new car Wizards of the Coast gave me.

Wasn’t it a Rambler that you got? :?
