Description

This is an extremely rare and more than likely unique piece of gaming history that we felt was worthy of its own entry! The soapbox edition of War in Europe is a rarity all by itself, but throw in the fact that this particular copy came from the SPI Master Library and you are looking at what we are fairly certain is a unique copy! As an added bonus, this SPI Master Library Copy comes with a wealth of extra parts! As a war gamer or collector who doesn't like extra parts?

This copy of War in Europe came from the personal collection of Douglas Niles, a one time TSR employee and author who redesigned the rules to WWII - ETO and PTO after TSR purchased SPI. All components including the box are stamped with:

Simulations Publications, Inc.
267 Park Avenue South
New York, N.Y. 10010

This stamp measures 2.25" x .5" and is for the most part unobtrusive on the actual components and is not a detriment to use. The box is stamped on the outside of the top box and the interior of both the top and bottom. All 9 maps are stamped on the playing surface of the maps, the stamp covers 5-7 hexes. All the rules are stamped on the front & back covers. All charts are stamped. All counter sheets are stamped and the stamps cover 3-6 counters but the counters are still easily identified.

With this fully unpunched copy, you get the following components:

  • War in Europe Standard Rules x1 plus 1 bonus set!
  • War in Europe Excusive Rules x1 plus 1 bonus set that is however missing 4 pages.
  • War in the West Exclusive Rules x1 plus 1 bonus set!
  • War in the East Exclusive Rules x1 plus 1 bonus set!
  • Axis Counter Sheet (400 pcs.) x3 plus 2 bonus counter sheets for a total of 5!
  • Allied Counter Sheet (400 pcs.) x3 plus 2 bonus counter sheets for a total of 5!
  • Soviet Counter Sheet (400 pcs.) x3 plus 2 bonus counter sheets for a total of 5!
  • 9 Maps
  • Allied Record Tracks & Charts x1 plus one bonus set!
  • Axis Productions Spiral & Tracks x1 plus one bonus set of tracks!
  • Soviet Productions Spiral & Tracks x1 plus one bonus set of both! Please note that the bonus set is printed on the Axis color instead of the Soviet
  • CRT's & Table Sheets x2 plus one bonus set!

    As you can see, you get one complete copy of the game and approximately 65% of another full set of counters, charts, and rules all directly from the SPI Master Library! This copy would a give a person the chance to play a large portion of the game and retain a complete unpunched copy of the game for their collection!
