Getting extra pieces?
-
Squeaky wheel, gang. Everyone needs to complain multiple times.
I think that’s the answer too. I have had to email WOTC regarding P40, AA50, GC, and DD. I wasn’t the first on any of them. Strength in numbers on this one.
-
Agreed, complaints in numbers always works! :)
But when possible I think people really need to call. Email is great and easy, but from a customer service point of view, it’s harder to ignore the person on the phone than to send a simple canned email response back.I called back last night to check the status as it has been over 2 weeks for me and my missing chinamen, got confirmation that it has shipped, so at least that’s a plus.

This may sound crazy, but I have a sure fire solution for the tac bomber shortage that is pretty easy to pull off and doesn’t involve WoC at all.
Go to a local hobby shop that sells ship models and pick yourself up a set of 1/700 scale aircraft for aircraft carriers and some spray paint cans of the different colors. A company called Trumpeter makes a bunch of different WW II and pre-war dive bombers, torpedo bombers and other types and they usually come in an 18 aircraft box. A few other companies make them as well. If you don’t have a good local shop, they can be found online at several hobby retailers.
I’ve been doing this since I was a kid along with having mech infantry using GHQ 1/285 half tracks. To say we modified the game a bit over the years is an understatement. :-D

Good idea, is there japan tactical bomber?

Actually, you can get Val’s, Kates and various other Japanese carrier borne bombers from a few of the Japanese model makers - Hasegawa, Tamiya and Fujimi - all make IJN carrier aircraft sets.
Here is a link to one of the sets from a place I buy from: http://www.pacificfront.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_35&products_id=218
And another: http://www.pacificfront.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_35&products_id=79
They also have some German sets, a little more expensive though:

They have British and American sets as well. Not much in the way of Russian stuff, only modern jets really.

the point being, we shouldn’t have to supplement their game…
-
thats true but still,
Thanks man, just bought a set,
And be waiting for those from WOTC. -
the point being, we shouldn’t have to supplement their game…
Yeah, I got that point. My point is when a company fails to provide all the goods as advertised, you can adapt and still play the game without waiting around for weeks to see if the company will actually follow through on supplying the missing pieces.
You can sit around and complain, or figure out how to play the game in the mean time. I usually go for the later.

You will always need to supplement A&A games as they keep including less in their games.

As long as people take it on the chin and don’t take the 5 min to call and complain, this will continue to happen.
If you want to order extra pieces from a 3rd party, great. You shouldn’t have to. Call and complain like the rest of us and help the cause. :)

Do you know if they have french customer service?
If yes, sur i would call, in the other case, i’m not good enough in english when it come to talk, i barely good enough to write! -

-

“Hello WotC. I’m calling about my ‘Axis and Allies: Pacific Gathering’ boxed set. My japanese deck is drastically lacking tactical bomber creature spells even though I have plenty of IPC mana to summon them with. I am unable to summon more even after my initial upkeep phase on the first round, please can you send me some more japanese tactical bomber creature spells to help me out?”
-
Yeah, i think you founf the correct wording.
ALLELUIA! -
Most of what I’ve seen on here has been complaints about the tac bomber shortage and WotC’s replys to complaint emails, but I’ve seen little about anything else. What about the board and the rulebook? Those mistakes are HUGE :-o! I feel like it’s kind of unreasonable to ask them to send me a whole new map, and they probably don’t even have correct ones printed, but this is completely ridiculous. Does anyone know how they plan to address such blatant carelessness besides saying sorry and telling us to improvise?
