I have a compartmented, Klein Tools storage box (think tackle box) that I use to segregate the pieces. It makes gameplay a lot easier, and enjoyable.
Good luck "winning" the game, though . . . I think that in all the years I've played it, I've come close once. (And that's because of a long series of "lucky" dice rolls).
Oh, and you better not own a cat, or have small children. Nothing is more annoying than to return to a game where the counters have been "rearranged."
LoL!
I remember many games where a table “earthquake” mysteriously took out my army overnight.
