Wizard of the coast is sending out additional playing pieces

wittmann,  I’ll second flash’s advice. All it cost’s you is an email and some patience followed (maybe) by a polite follow-up and you’ll get some extra pieces. Well worth the slight hassle and a pinch of patience my friend.

Thank you Toblerone. I will do.
I said I played a game and forgot how much I liked it, But I  did get frustrated at the lack of pieces!

Sent an email a couple of weeks ago.  Got my pieces today in the mail.  Jackpot!

Got for each country; two battleships, two subs, three cruisers, three transports, two planes, two tanks, five arty, six infantry, except for France, which got nine infantry.  Also got 30 each of the light chips (30 lt blue, 30 lt red), and 10 each of the dark chips (same distribution).  Think this will really make a difference.

Good luck to everyone else in getting your pieces, too.  I feel fortunate.

My pieces showed up today. 8 days early good job WotC. here’s what they sent me:
6- Infantry for each nation
5- Artillery for each nation (expect UK who got 6)
2- Tanks for each nation
2- Fighters for each nation
2- Subs for each nation
3- Transports for each nation
3- Cruisers for each nation
2- Battleships for each nation
60- light colored chips, 30 red and 30 blue
20- dark colored chips, 10 red and 10 blue

All total it’s a half a game’s worth in pieces and chips.

oh and there’s a note in the bag that says my car will be here tuesday  :-D

I asked for an armoured train with a frickin’ laser beam on the front.

Am I being unrealistic?

Wow! That is a hell of a lot of units.
I sent off my email two days ago too. Think I am getting them too.

I made sure not to tell them what I’m short in, just that isn’t enough to play and enjoy the game. Basically it was the same email on the first or second page of the tread but leaving out the list of units and I changed the last sentence to remove the reference to the upcoming list.

@17Mark71:

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

Got em in the mail yesterday.  Lots of pieces and chips.  Thx WotC.

for a moment I thought they were sending out additional pieces like units for Neutrals or Minor Powers.  :-(

Sent out my request today. I wonder if they will ship it all the way to Berlin, where i life… Could use some prayers :D

Got mine yesterday. Lots of pieces and chips, and they packaged them in France and Germany setup boxes! :-D Just thought that was interesting.

A few have had them in England and I have been promised them to(England), so I am sure you will get yours.
Is good news all round.
One day I will visit Berlin.

Got my answer today! They are going to process my request and asked me about my Billing Address. Do you guys think i will have to expect any costs? I already gave them my shipping address…
I basically used a slightly modified version of the example shown on page 1.

Here is what they wrote:

Hello ******,

Thank you for contacting Wizards of the Coast Game support!

So that we can assist you with this order, please provide us with the following information:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to contact us and we will be glad to help.

Happy gaming and have a wonderful day!

One day I will visit Berlin.

Yeah I think its definitely worth a trip! Im going to visit England and Scotland in August;)

I’d just send the shipping address again. If you don’t want them to call or have your number, just make one up.

Still waiting on mine, it’s been three weeks so hopefully it will arrive by next weekend.
Great to see WotC doing this to make up for their mistake. I wonder what percent of their total sales are being “bonused up”?
I would put it at 30-40% max. Most are probably casual gamers who don’t visit game forums.

Maybe they had a lot of unsold copies remaining to raid for parts.

In the long term, I wonder if would’ve been more economical for them to include enough pieces in the box to begin with, even without upping the price.

Update:
Customer support said i can expect my new pieces in about 3-4 weeks. Not bad at all, i will let you guys know what i got;)

I did get mine today. It took some time as I am in Europe.

6 Infantry
5 Artillery
2 Tanks
2 Fighters
2 Battleships
3 Cruisers
2 Subs
3 Transport

PER nation :-)

Plus chips, oddly not identocal for cengral powers (blue) and allies (red).
47 chips blue/CP ( 10 dark- and 37 light blue)
37 chips red/Allied (15 dark- and 22 light red).

A very god service and quite usefull the chips, fighets and land units!

-Peter

Red Chips were for CPs
Blue for the Allies

Still waiting on mine.  I asked for them first week of January.
