    Avalon Hill Goodness

    May 23, 2004

    🏷️ #boardgames

    I mentioned last week that some parts were missing from my Axis & Allies: D-Day game. Sent an email to Hasbro/Avalon Hill/WOTC and got this quick response:

    Please accept our apology for your defective product. I have sent out the replacement part requested to the address you provided below.

    And the parts showed up 4 days later. Nice.
