You could be right about the mixing of old and new pieces. I have the original 50th anniversary edition, and have got to say that some of the pieces were miss formed and not of great quality. I have switched those out with other pieces. Since I own every edition except for 1940 Pacific, I can say that the older game pieces were of much better quality…but you need the newer games to get those newer sculpts, so it is a challenge to have it both ways. Anyway good luck, and hope you enjoy “anniversary “. It, and along with the original “Pacific 2000” are my favorite editions

Is there any way to rebuy game pieces for italy and china so i can print out a map and use my '42 pieces to play aa50?

In short the answer is No. I suggest you just buy a second copy of 1942 and spray paint some of the pieces to form an Italian Army and a Chinese Army. Thats probably the cheapest solution.

Check out the A&A Variants forum where there is a sticky about a company called FMG that is producing sets of pieces for each nation. If you can wait till he has all the molds done, you can get any nation you want in new high quality plastic pieces.
