Storage of Game

By Evilmasteryoda, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

So i'm attempting to figure out the best approach for storing my figures, cards, tiles and books.

I would like them to fit in the box and this is what I came up with.

I'm using 1 box from my old SWCCG days, its star wars themed that is why. it fits all the core cards in FFG sleeves and I can fit about 20 - 40 more.

And then the two plastic boxes are similar to what you can get from craft stores or tackle organizers.

I got them from Oriental Trading.

But now I have the tiles, they are not very fun to sort/find right now so I left them in the original punch outs and put them back after.

Is anybody using something in the box for organizing the tiles?

I've done some foam core inserts:

Still perfecting/fine tuning the design. I will be doing version 3.0 soon

I bought the battelfoam insert.. HATE IT ALREADY!. It does't exactly fit without stressing the box. Of course, you can not sleeve your cards, the double space gunners have a hard time fitting and finally, no expansion room.

Unfortunately BattleFoam's insert slots have had that downside in their X-Wing line too. Had thought/hoped/expected them to have rectified it by now :-(

I have used quart sized zip locks for the tiles.. I sorted them in 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40

I also use zipbags, but with both large and small tiels being within the same range, it is stil lawkward to search for them

Tile wise I've decided to do as follows:

The two largest tiles are stored separately (1&19)

2-10 are wrapped in 1 elastic band with a label "Tile 2-10"

11-12 have a separate place

13-18 have an elastic band and label

20-30 ditto

and finally

31-39 are also tied with an elastic band and labeled

Especially the grouping of 13-18 and 31-39 respectively makes for easy alignment of the tiles in each group when you connect the 1 by 2 square tiles (ie. connect two #36 tiles and so on)

Me too, but my divisions are 1-9, 10-19, 20-29 and 30-39 - just because it's easier for me to say (the twenties, or thirties)...

I also am using a Plano 732 tackle box to store the game - there is currently TONS of room for expansion, but I've had great luck with these boxes for X-Wing and I'm familiar with them. $39 at Wal-Mart - great buy...

Does anyone please have a link for the Battlefoam insert? I can't see it on their site.

Is it even worth getting? Sounds like people aren't impressed...

You can find all the options that Battle Foam for IA here:

I've never purchased from Battle Foam before, but I probably wouldn't based on the reviews in this thread, and the cost is a bit much. The $35 one might be worth it... but I won't be purchasing any of their stuff.

There is a pdf over at Boardgamegeek.com with instructions on building your own:

I might go this route, but with the first wave of expansions announced but not released, it seems premature.
