OK I got in touch and they promised me 2 of every piece, though nothing about chips which is what I really need bar a few more British & German infantry.

Here’s hoping.

Really Flashman? Even though you are in England?
They said they would send them: I am happy for you.
I have not bothered, but am annoyed at the small number of units.
Have just plays a game actually. Was infuriating!

I got my new car from Wizards. Thanks guys!

You need to contact the Newport address on the back of the manual.

Actually I’m really only bothered about the chips and a few infantry, so maybe they’ll send me those rather than the 2 of each package.

It only costs you an email, so you might as well give it a try.

[Witt]

Thank you.
Not sure I have ever looked at the reverse of the box!

wittmann,  I’ll second flash’s advice. All it cost’s you is an email and some patience followed (maybe) by a polite follow-up and you’ll get some extra pieces. Well worth the slight hassle and a pinch of patience my friend.

[Witt]

Thank you Toblerone. I will do.
I said I played a game and forgot how much I liked it, But I  did get frustrated at the lack of pieces!

Sent an email a couple of weeks ago.  Got my pieces today in the mail.  Jackpot!

Got for each country; two battleships, two subs, three cruisers, three transports, two planes, two tanks, five arty, six infantry, except for France, which got nine infantry.  Also got 30 each of the light chips (30 lt blue, 30 lt red), and 10 each of the dark chips (same distribution).  Think this will really make a difference.

Good luck to everyone else in getting your pieces, too.  I feel fortunate.

My pieces showed up today. 8 days early good job WotC. here’s what they sent me:
6- Infantry for each nation
5- Artillery for each nation (expect UK who got 6)
2- Tanks for each nation
2- Fighters for each nation
2- Subs for each nation
3- Transports for each nation
3- Cruisers for each nation
2- Battleships for each nation
60- light colored chips, 30 red and 30 blue
20- dark colored chips, 10 red and 10 blue

All total it’s a half a game’s worth in pieces and chips.

oh and there’s a note in the bag that says my car will be here tuesday  :-D

[Flashman]

I asked for an armoured train with a frickin’ laser beam on the front.

Am I being unrealistic?

Wow! That is a hell of a lot of units.
I sent off my email two days ago too. Think I am getting them too.

[Yavid]

I made sure not to tell them what I’m short in, just that isn’t enough to play and enjoy the game. Basically it was the same email on the first or second page of the tread but leaving out the list of units and I changed the last sentence to remove the reference to the upcoming list.

@17Mark71:

Just got a response today.  15-20 days I’ll have more playing pieces.

Got em in the mail yesterday.  Lots of pieces and chips.  Thx WotC.

[Chacmool]

for a moment I thought they were sending out additional pieces like units for Neutrals or Minor Powers.  :-(

[Cephir]

Sent out my request today. I wonder if they will ship it all the way to Berlin, where i life… Could use some prayers :D

[ossel]

Got mine yesterday. Lots of pieces and chips, and they packaged them in France and Germany setup boxes! :-D Just thought that was interesting.

A few have had them in England and I have been promised them to(England), so I am sure you will get yours.
Is good news all round.
One day I will visit Berlin.

[Cephir]

Got my answer today! They are going to process my request and asked me about my Billing Address. Do you guys think i will have to expect any costs? I already gave them my shipping address…
I basically used a slightly modified version of the example shown on page 1.

Here is what they wrote:
