Piece count

It might give an advantage on the tournament scene to have all the players distracted by your snazzy tinfoil storage!  :-D

Very generous timerover, I am happy to see a community like this. I would insist on paypal’ing you the money though. I should post some pix of us playing here. We just moved to a forward operating base and had another long game. I am 8-1 now, my 1st loss haha. The game was going downhill for Axis untill England made a mistake. He only left 1 tank, 1 inf and 1 arty there so I attacked with 2 inf, 3 planes and 1 battleship roll… I lost… game went downhill from there.

Thanks for the link on the coffee table…

they say its $237.00 USD for a set of pieces painted up ( KR 1200.00)

Thats 366 pieces so about .64 cents each piece. Thats not including shipping, but still a great deal.

I’ll leave that for others who may have some possibilities.

For me, I have a near triplicate set of AAR figures (only double INF), as well as my original Classic A&A set that I can raid at need.

The cheapest option may actually be to just buy a second game, especially if you can find a used one…

How long ago was that IL?  I ordered mine about 5 months ago, and they DID send me 1 set of INF…  They initially back-ordered them, but about a week later the INF showed up, and the refund check for the single INF set not sent about 3 days later.

There has been some extended discussion of adding additional nations in the House Rules area, which would be the correct venue for such discussions :-)

Further update for anyone considering ordering additional pieces…

I received my back-ordered INF today, giving me a complete triple set of pieces.

Again, the UK INF were Sea Foam Green…

I did have to abandon my “floss boxes” for pieces (I was using 1 full sized box Axis, 1 full sized Allies, 1 half sized chips, etc).  I have replaced them with a small 26 drawer organizer.  With the dividers available, I was able to almost make one space for each type of unit (I still lumped all Capital ships into one of the larger drawers (still dividied by nation of course), and both bombers and FIGs share a drawer for each nation).  But otherwise, each nation is in its own row, and each unit is in its own drawer or within a section of a drawer.  It holds even the triple count of units nicely, and it is INCREDIBLY easy and quick to find what I need.

For those who do not travel with their board, a great way to organize the whole thing :-)

Of course, with the vast increase in available units, now I REALLY need to get one of those oversized boards (but my table isn;t large enough to hold one :-(  )

Here is a wild one…

Catholic Mass:  Allows Italy to ONCE call for the Pope to endorse Italy’s roll in the war.  If succesful (1 in 6 on die) would create 1 INF in every neutral nation that was largely Catholic, controlled by Italy.  Effected nations:  Spain, Argentina, Peru, Venezuala.  IPC amount for each effected nation raised to 1 each.

And this for your “frogmen”
Scuttle Crew:  Would allow 1 INF to attack 1 Allied naval unit that PER INF that is adjacent to an Italian held territory containing INF (Italy specifies targets).  INF rolls normal attack (1 in 6) and if succesful sinks 1 Allied ship. Such attack preceeds normal attack round.  Failure is loss of Italy INF.
