@Karl7:
All the 1940 chips are the same.
So 2nd edition 1940 uses the old style chips then, same as 1st?
@Karl7:
They unfortunately are different from the Revised, Pac 2001, and first Europe edition games, which have I tons of and are just slightly smaller in diameter than the 1940 chips, thus better. (Not sure about anniversary).
These smaller chips are the ones sold by HBG?
Sorry if I’m being dense here.
All 1940 games, 1st and 2nd edition, have the same diameter chips and are interchangeable.
The smaller chips (they are actually on a tiny bit small in diameter but also a bit thicker and easier to use IMO) I was talking about were sold with the old Europe and Pacific games printed in 1999 and 2001, respectively. Avalon Hill used to sell replacement/extra pieces to their games way back in the day. So I bought a ton of extra chips for them. HBG has some of these chips for sale. However, as I say, they are not compatible with the 1940 game chips.
The Spring 1942 game that is the current Axis and Allies standard bearer has completely different chips from all these games. They are the smallest in diameter but also the thickest–way too thick if you ask me.
