Wizard of the coast is sending out additional playing pieces

E-mailed them twice and have been told they are out of stock and don’t know when they will have more in.
My original request was Nov 8th and these replies are from yesterday.
:x
I’m not holding my breath that there will be any more replacement/upgrade packs being shipped out.
That will teach me to buy before reviews are posted about an A&A game. :-(
A&A is becoming a 2nd edition purchase company. Sad.

With all the complaints they are getting they’ll prob just scrap 1914 altogether
Though it is a direct result of WOTC being cheap and lazy…clearly wasn’t play tested well and severely skimped on pieces

I do not think it is playable as is, as by round 3 your about out of several different prices, by round 5 the fun is almost completely sucked out by running out of several different types of pieces constantly

I got mine today. I’ll need to go through them to get an exact count. They were packed loose in a small box but counting just the Germans it looks like they added quite a few sculpts and chips.

I submitted my request earlier this week and mine are on their way.  :-D

So maybe I requested a few more pieces than I actually need for the shortcomings in the OOB game… :roll:

I called them and talked to Josh and he said it would be 5 to 10 business days. It is at 10 days now curious when they will show.

Great customer service.  They didn’t need to do this.  I am getting my pieces and extra chips in a couple weeks now.

Merry Christmas!

They didn’t need to short us in the first place. Charge highest price of any A&A game, for a game that almost is unplayable OOB. Yes they did need to do this, and it is why they are doing it.

;)

Hopefully they have learned from this mistake.

Still haven’t gotten my pieces…I assume it’s because of the holiday rush, but who knows…

That is good. Glad for you.
I did not bother as I am in England, then I heard someone in England say they got them here!
Annoying.
Have just started my  second ever game. Am happy to be playing it again, but do not really know what rules we are playing and do not think I have much of a chance as the Axis.

It seems to take a while to get them, but considering the fact that you can send them an email and wait a few weeks it was worth it. They should have just had them included in the first place.

Thanks to the OP for posting this or I wouldn’t have even bothered.

Just sent in my request.  I’m surprised I didn’t see this post sooner.  Oh well, let’s see what happens next.

Just got a response today.  15-20 days I’ll have more playing pieces.

I sent an email on this also and they are mailing me additional pieces! can’t wait

I love customer service at WotC. I sent them an email about the lack of playing pieces in AA14 and here’s what I got back:

Your question has been received. You should expect a response from us within 24 hours.

Note the date of the email from Customer Support 1/7 and the date of my posting here.

Call customer service Yavid. It honestly makes a difference.

Yeah, put in my initial request on 12/11, still haven’t gotten anything even though they said they sent them. Of course, they marked the issue as “Resolved” in their system, so I can’t comment on or update it…had to put in a new ticket. No response.

Has anyone any experience of the Welsh office?

I think I have,I’m from UK,been waiting maybe 5/6 weeks,but in the end I’ve got it.Just send one e.mail about the order and another one about my phone number,nothing else.That was it.

I just got a reply from them today it’s going to be 3-6 weeks. We’ll see how that works out.

Got an answer from my follow-up:
