HELP! Is each country supposed to only have 17 infantry?

[inkara]

Because from when me and my buddy setup the board: Germany, Japan, and the USSR still need 2 more infantry apiece

[MistaBiggs]

No ... there is only suppose to be 75 infantry total (15 for each country); however, it is common that there are extra infantry for most of the countries.

Use the chips.

1 white chip = 1 additional unit of whatever type is placed on top of it. An example would be a fighter unit on 3 white chips is 4 fighters(often written 4 ftr or 4 ftrs).

1 red chip = 5 additional units of whatever type is placed on top of it. An example would be an infantry unit on 2 red chips is 11 infantry(often written 11 inf).  Heh-heh!

Unless you buy extra pieces, on eBay fer example, you will have to limit your countries that you have forces in.

You might also check out your local rag tag hobby/toy store, Goodwill or other second hand shops.
