You could be right about the mixing of old and new pieces. I have the original 50th anniversary edition, and have got to say that some of the pieces were miss formed and not of great quality. I have switched those out with other pieces. Since I own every edition except for 1940 Pacific, I can say that the older game pieces were of much better quality…but you need the newer games to get those newer sculpts, so it is a challenge to have it both ways. Anyway good luck, and hope you enjoy “anniversary “. It, and along with the original “Pacific 2000” are my favorite editions
Color of the Pieces: what are the paint equivalents/codes/names??
-
Does anyone know the identity or name or designation of the colors of the different units?
Isn’t there some “industrial” standard/name for the Italian “brown?” etc etc
If someone could post the id’s/codes here that would be great!!
Or perhaps it isn’t even that difficult; are there any commonly available modeling paints
which are the equivalent to the UK tan or the Russian red; for each country? etc etc
Can someone post this info?

The game manual says:
USA: green
Germany: gray
UK: tan
USSR : maroon :|
Italy: brown
Japan: orangeWhen I play with my pals, we say:
USA: verde (green)
Germany: ¿no puede ser más negro? (It cannot be even more black?) :lol:
UK: raro, tirando a blancusino (strange, seems limey :-D)
USSR: rojo (red)
Italy: marrón (brown)
Japan: naranja (orange)
China: verde claro (light green) -
That’s funny, I thought the colors were:
USSR - brown
UK - brown
Italy - brown
Japan - orangey-brown
USA - green
China - green:-D

I bought two boxes of AAR and the colours were different
if you are thinking of painting, you can look at WWII uniform website and try to pick a colour from paint websitehttp://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/all-forces.htm

1606 pewter grey gloss (Italy)
1986 dark grey (Germany) -

Haha. Too true. I think some painting is in order for most players who care about board readability!

I had some issues when italian and soviet units fought in Romania. It’s the only really confusion you can have whith this item.
-
if you think that pieces color are similar, try on playing with a friend who is color-blind, as I did… when he tried a multiple attack against my Russian units in China using both Japanese and Chinese units I know that there was something wrong with him…
-
i think that some of the color got messed up pretty bad
Germany: they should be gray but look black as hell
Soviets: I guess they over-looked the whole RED Army thing, huh?
Italy: They should be blue, like in the TripleA map -
That’s funny, I thought the colors were:
USSR - brown
UK - brown
Italy - brown
Japan - orangey-brown
USA - green
