A Message from the Unit Counter Pool Officer
The role of the Unit Counter Pool Officer is to maintain the AHIKS pool of spare game counters and game parts and to assist members with their requests for any items. This is a FREE service of AHIKS and there is no charge involved.
Requests for a counter or part made to the Unit Counter Pool (UCP) MUST include your name, AHIKS number, and mailing address. This not only allows the UCP Officer to verify your membership status but saves time in the event your part is available. In addition, since the UCP Officer can’t possibly be familiar with every game, it helps to be as specific as possible in describing what you need.
It is also important to note that the purpose of the UCP is to replace a missing counter(s) or game part and NOT to replace the majority of counters or components to a game. Sometimes a request may fall into “a gray area”. The UCP Officer reserves the right to determine whether or not a request is reasonable and to act accordingly. If you are sent repalcement counters, you get to keep them/
The UCP Counter List and UCP Part List are both available from the UCP Officer. They are kept current as needed so if you see that particular game listed your item may be available. However, seeing it listed does not guarantee the specific counter or part is still available as the game may not be complete in the pool.
Donations of games, game counters, and/or parts are always welcomed and appreciated. The UCP was built entirely on the donations of members, and in turn it has helped numerous members out over the years. Should you donate, please note that it is just that, a donation and there is no reimbursement of any kind. However, you will be given credit for it in the UCP News article in The Kommandeur.
