  • email them at customer service and tell them that you are running out of chips in gameplay and need more…

    Nope didn’t work. They emailed me back in about half an hour and told me they have no way to get replacements to customers but they’re “looking into it.”


  • I didn’t get extra units, but I did get extra chips.


  • LOOK GUYS: just goto gamblers wherehouse in vegas ( or visit their website and buy a cheap package of chips exactly like axis and allies) you get 100 chips in blue green black red gold yellow white for $2.50 for example the part number for red chips is #5311. No more posta about chips as you know where to buy them cheap. Enough!

    http://www.gamblersgeneralstore.com/ call on phone ask for mini chips part number #5311 (red chips) i dont remember the part numbers for the other colors.

    BTW stryofoam sucks. Plano boxes are the best buy them cheap at frys outpost.com

    Yes, but at least they were sorting trays :-)

    Plano boxes are more expensive for the same item than “Floss” boxes, available in craft stores and the craft section at Wally World.  usually about a buck and change each (can fit all pieces in 2 full sized, though I plan on doing 6 smaller boxes, 1 for each nation, and 1 for chips, dice, IC’s and AA)


  • OK point taken BTW i just met Trihero 1 hour ago… anyway you can buy for 2.99 each box a nice plano with 8 compartments. The problem with this styofoam is if the box is turned over the pieces go everywhere. Plus im sure you own the other games, so you can combine all the pieces in a few plastic boxes. so spend 15.00 and have peace of mind. Heck i got over 25,000 peices and have them in dozens of boxes all plano but i use them for different hybrids of a and a.


  • @Imperious:

    The problem with this styofoam is if the box is turned over the pieces go everywhere.

    That is solved by using 2 rubber bands and the placement card from the old AA Classic.  The card was just the right size to be used as a “top” for the styrofoam containers.

    Could shake the snot out of the box and no pieces came out of their holders if you had good rubber bands :-)


  • I too miss the old Styrofoam trays. I hadn’t had a copy for years and got one last year. Also, I agree, what the heck with Britain’s color? And there aren’t white chips, there are grey chips? huh? I liked not having to tear everything off a tree (and I don’t have to sand the bottom of the carriers so they’ll sit level enough for fighters to actually stay on them!). I also like the fact that all the pieces are personalized for each country (although it cuts out our old tech upgrade of heavy fighters - the US now uses that piece as a standard piece).

    And yes, I run out of chips. Badly. We use the aircraft movement marker’s (WTF? As if we couldn’t count) and MOST of the marshalling markers (at the most we are using 2 or 3 per game), turned upside down as ‘white chips’. Also control markers turned upside down, if we have spares.


  • well then just call that site i posted and get a million more chips mailed to you.


  • Or, if you are like me, just raid chips (and extra Japan INF and ARM, something else I have run out of in the last 2 games I played) from your Milton Bradley Classic AA game.  Exactly the same size and style :-)
