Well they could have mixed some in.
My biggest gripe is the lack of artillery sculpts.
Just swap them all around. Like give France the Italian sculpt from 1940, and give Russia the Japanese sculpt, etc. Just recolor the old molds.
Better than one cookie cutter artillery.
Finally bought this game!
-
Will the two copies I bought, have enough pieces, or do I need to purchase more units?
Thanks,
John

Morning John.
If you only intend playing one game at a time, then two sets are ample.
Enjoy your games! -
Enjoy, John!
From what Iāve heard in the community, it has mixed-taste reviews.Ā However, I love the game.Ā Though, I am a hardcore A&A fanboy, so Larry can do no wrong.Ā That, and I am a huge history buff.
-
Thanks guys! I love all military history. I just wanted to make sure I had enough pieces.
Thanks again!

I recommend playing with chips rather than land units. Use different coloured chips for different unit types, with just the single required infantry on top of each stack.
Otherwise the western front just gets too crowded. Thereās barely room for a stack for each nation, never mind for each unit type.
Mix chips from your other sets; I use:
white/grey = infantry
red = artillery
yellow/green = tanks
blue = planes -

Of course it easier if you can find all the chips you need in the same old style.

Yes, it would be easier for sure.

Itās a great game. It is a masterpiece board game.

John, Iāve been pleased with HBGās selection and prices for supplemental pieces which are exact matches for each game.Ā The only issue is that they are swamped with business and out of stock for some things at times.Ā However, they do have email notifiers of when they restock.Ā Theyāre good people, there.

WraithZerO, I just now saw your response. Thanks for the info. Iām fully aware of HBGās selection of 3D pieces.
They have a vast array of pieces, and will be making more as time goes on.
I canāt wait till they complete their 1914 map. I think it will be great.
In fact just bought the Russian battleships today.
Thanks again for the info.
-
My pleasure, John.Ā I love this game.Ā I, too, am looking forward to their mapās completion.
-
Looks like theyāve made the same mistake as Larry with the Greece/Bulgarian border.
Should somebody tell them?
Prefer impassable Congo Jungle
Hungary: why no Slovakia or Transylvania but lots of tiny tts on the Adriatic?

I have noticed a few mistakes, as well, Flash.Ā I think there is someone on these forums who works there.Ā Maybe they will pick up on it.Ā It is still in production.Ā There are some typos in the rulebooks, etc., also.Ā I am also not happy with the addition of bombers and tactical bombers.Ā Maybe they could substitute both for zeppelins, which were used to bomb England and others.Ā Either way, this something is better than nothing.

There is a rulebook for HBGās map?
Unless someone tells them there is mistake, they wonāt know it. Their phone number is on their website.

If you āorderā the map, it comes with a jpeg of the current full map and pdfs of the layouts, unit descriptions, and instructions/rules.Ā Itās free, but requires a checkout.

Ok, that is cool, but I will probably wait till they get the physical map done. It is cool that they make it for free for players.
Thanks WraithZer0.

Me, too.Ā No problem!

I dropped them a message. Hopefully they will fix Greece-Bulgaria & the Hungarian eastern borders.
