I just put them into the RAACO boxes along with the normal French
Being something of a storage-nerd, that just won't do... ?
Currently, eight inserts of a RAACO Assorter contain the French (one layer), the other layer is currently occupied by the Chinese.
To store the Vichy-French and Free French in accordance with the overall system, I would need to kick out the Chinese to get hold of the space. So far, so good.
But the Chinese have nowhere to go. The "Allied" Handybox contains one Assorter of Russians, one Assorter of US/Marines, one Assorter of British, and one of French/Chinese. The Allied Minors have their Assorter in another Handybox together with the Axis Minors Assorter and two Assorters of Function Counters, so that one is also full.
Of course it is out of the question to store extra French in an Axis Assorter (i.e. within the bottom layer of the one for the German vehicles). This would also "violate" the rule never to store different nationalities in the same layer of an Assorter.
See my grievous pains? ?
Probably, it cannot be avoided to procure a fourth Handybox, Assorters, and inserts. The Chinese would have to move into this new one. Maybe a new Handybox would also be a pretext for punching FW and the Korea-Stuff. After all, you can't run around with a fourth Handybox and hardly anything in it, now, can you? But should Korea go with the Function Counters (as I will probably not play post WW2) and the Chinese move in with the Minors? Or keep the Minors/Function Handybox as is and move the Chinese to the Korea stuff? Neither feels "right".
Of course, I could sink tons of money in RAACO compatible 3D-printed inserts that have been displayed here by some. However, these are yet imperfect at the four corners (tweezers can't be used there), still too expensive to procure in large numbers, and can't be labelled properly for lack of space (which of course they save for denser storage...). Worse of all, I would have to reinvent the "perfect storage system" once more - a project, which I gnawed on for weeks for the current version.
Ahhhh, it's a disaster... ??
