@Midnight_Reaper well, i use the 3 pieces of the first image, they serve me well, for that they are.
Now, the system and the mechanics of the game are made for a fast gameplay, and map and combat are more a -ww2 in europe- theme or abstraction, instant of a true 100% historical simulation.
Yes, random dice can by a problem some times, but rock-paper-scissors system can minimice the dice factor. And there are some post-production official optional rules and ideas, i find in the forums, to engance gameplay.
Wen i playtest all options, i can put here, if you want to know, my full opinion on the game.
Piece Storage and keeping games intact
-
I prefer to keep my games separate. There a a couple of exceptions. I have 3 copies of classic 2nd ed that share a box. I threw out the worst board and one set of styrofoam unit trays. I combined my 1940 2nd ed pieces in country specific PLANO boxes. They are adjustable with 5 to 20 spots. One for my gamers paradise tokens one each for germany japan italy us uk russia anzac. China and france share a box. The shared pieces like facilities and chips (and soon to be plag poles, battle markers and damage chips) have their own boxes. My 2004 revised, 42 2nd ed and preordered anniversary 2nd ed are/ will be separate. If i get 41 it will be for pieces so those might go in with global and i plan on getting white inf for neutrals which will go in with chips and facilities.

To each his own of course.
Personally, I prefer the bigger nation bins that combining them allows. Whether I’m playing 1941, 1942 (and/or if I owned Global), Germany is Germany, UK is UK, etc, etc… so I don’t really see a need to keep the bins separate by game, especially since I don’t play two games at the same time so I only need one nation bin per country.
Naturally, everyone will do what’s best for their own situation/philosophy on the matter.

I keep my games separate, however I add pieces to them from HBG.
