These guys used to have red and white:

I see they only show red and black now but you might email them to see if they can still supply white. But you have to buy a lot of them, more like 80 sets worth rather than 10. But it comes to something like a dollar and a half per set.

A good tip is too look for backgammon pieces instead since they are basically the same thing. Look here for instance http://www.pmpproducts.com/explore/0/ba ... ckers.html

Another idea is to use poker or texas holdem chips,i used to when i did the schools and quite inexpensive too John.
Of course red and black would be ok on green and white boards too.....make sure they are numbered .
I do have a dozen sets of red/white plastic types but i may hold on to them.

Hi All,
Thank you for your assistance and suggestions
I did in the end place an order with gameparts.
Then I heard back from the ICHF who are able to supply these pieces. But it was to late sadly.

Perhaps the ICHF could be metioned in the ACF store page for being able to supply these.
Tha Checker Mavin has a great article about checker pieces and boards, worth a read
