Another tackle box submission by Ron Howard who puts the units alongside the terrain hexes and tokens:

Stu Milo Harris was originally storing each component in it’s own box, but after a run of Battle of La Heuniere where too much time was spent looking for terrain and tokens to set up, he decided to make something that was both efficient and easy to search for.
Randall Wheat took his plano boxes and added a large leather satchel to carry everything in, including printed battle maps and boards. Everything seems to fit snugly:

John Sellars had the idea to scale up the usage coin holder and actually use it to store terrain hexes. This looks perfect, but I wonder how long it takes to search for terrain. I’ve heard of people with 2 or more copies of each expansion plus 2 or more base games, and I don’t think this would scale in those cases. Regardless, terrain hexes look neat on coin holders!
Like the look of those hexagons. Great idea.
Sweet! I bought 5 tackle boxes, one for each army, and now I’m wishing I thought of just dividing them into Axis and Allies like you did. Looks pretty compact, and I can see that you keep your terrain cards on there!
Where do you keep your tokens (mines, special units, etc)?
The tokens are each in different compartments (mixed up now).
With all the boards and expansions it’s heavy, so I print out the first scenario map enlarged for
the convention onto 4 sheets and tape them together.
Also small Planos w/figs needed.
Decline advancement in order to play many other types of games.

Wow! That has got to be one of the most unique creations I’ve seen regarding Memoir '44! A military field desk! 
What stands out to me:
- The box with the hexes all neatly packed looks like a poker chip box
- The lettering on the drawers is in an old typewriter font which looks amazing.
- Drawers contain allied units on the left, axis on the right, separated by army
- Perfect sized storage for preprinted maps and rulebooks
I was going to mention that he might not have enough space for everything, but then I looked at the schematics in the BGG topic you linked and it seems he has loads of free space still!
Really a five star set up.

Welcome to the forum Ironglove! I have the feeling that most people go over multiple storage ideas and keep looking out for more concepts to store their collections, and hopefully this topic is able to provide good ideas and permanent solutions. If you have any storage tips you’re welcome to share them here

I like this one very cool
I have a question the tiles are double sided so how does that work?

I guess you just have to pull the set of tiles from the expansion you’re playing, or multiple sets if you’re playing a more demanding scenario. Not as efficient as cataloguing every hex tile, but I can see it being faster to pull out and store.

Also is there a good place to be able to buy something like these
I am a fortunate soul and have been collecting Memoir ‘44 games and expansions since 2007. I keep my tiles in a box container separated by expansion. If I need a tile that is not in the expansion I am currently using, I simply pull out a TERRAIN TILE INDEX that I created. It lets me know where to find the needed additional tiles.

Here is a picture of my Terrain and Units in some Akro-Mills Storage boxes.
The outside of the Terrain box.
Inside of box Terrain are labelled by expansion.
The reason these particular bins are so great is that the are a perfect size for the Memoir’44 tiles. Also 22 tiles fit in each compartment. This works great because almost all the expansions have tiles in increments of 22.
Outside of Army unit box.
