I've been forever looking for stacking game chips (as found in Axis & Allies).. just found them on e-bay. They come in various basic colors and are by Koplow.. Check e-bay under "mini poker chips" if you need some.. they run $1.50 USD per tube of 50. The ellers will mix and match, just contact them.. I'm using mine for an ACW Risk-like game, and as hidden terrain modifiers for Piquet..

That reminds me, I need poker chips to use as "chits" for drawing character turns for RECON Gutshot!

Another place to get them is at just about any teacher store.

I picked up tons of then at the local dollar stores when I demoed GRS and Deadlands for Pinnacle. They still crop up from time to time…

Koplow has GREAT stuff! You can also get them from Great Hall Games in Austin, Texas.

If anyone need anything from Koplow I can also get it. But if anyone needs some regular size poker chips, I've got a few stacks of extras going cheap (i.e. Free – just cover the postage).

What about bingo chips? I've seen a lot of folks using them instead of mini poke chips. Smaller than mini poker chips, plus they're transparent, so they "blend" into the table more. I've checked Walmart/Kmart/etc. and party supply stores with no luck. Red, yellow and green seem to be the main colors I'd need.

Schogun : re: bingo chips.. Far as I know, they don't stack.. and the transparent part kills it for me.. I put a terrain modifier on one side, which goes face down on the table..

American Science and Surplus had them a while back, let me see if they still do… Ah, yes. Here we go: item #30232. $2 USD gets you 8 packages of 50 chips, 45 white, 5 red. sciplus.com
