RE: DIY tuck box inserts
Ah the styrofoam dividers….those were the days, anyone else find themselves poking holes in them when it’s not your turn though? I kinda destroyed mine…whoops!
I had a buddy, Steve, who would do stuff like that……it drove me nuts!! Once, while playing Conquest of The Empire I was busy studying the board and I hear “Check this out!”. I look over and Steve has taken all of the silver infantry pieces that were not in play and stuck them spear down into the Styrofoam tray. I wanted to knock his block off!!
As for storage, I make my own trays out of cardboard:
Another version:
I haven’t made similar insers for the newer boxes yet but it would be pretty simple. To me, if I’m going to divide them, I want them divided completely if possible.

RE: DIY tuck box inserts
@djensen You are correct. I just kinda’ built them as I went. Of course, I figured out general dimensions but I did slightly tailor each box to the nation it was for because unit numbers and sized varied. But I did them so many years ago now that I don’t recall any of the dimensions. I do remember that I made them out of the carboard backers that stacks of USPS stamps came wrapped in. I was working at the post office at that time and they would just throw the carboard in the trash after unwrapping the stamps. It was very high quality and dense cardstock but there were variations in the color of it. Still, it worked just fine for what I was doing.
