Note that various issues are photocopies as listed in the backissue section above Price: $250 (a savings of $270 from the $520 total if each issue were purchased separately). Product #TEMpack Second Front Special Edition -- Product #905se Description: This consists of the original, printed Second Front box (top and bottom), dice, rules set, all of the game charts, all 4 of the game maps, and 9 of the 17 countersheets; but the Axis and Allied order of battle booklets would be photocopies; and 8 of the countersheets would be provided as electronic color adobe .pdf files (the files would be print only - they will be security protected so that they cannot be modified in any way) that you would have to print out and mount/cut yourself. The adobe .pdf files would be exactly the same as the original counter artwork files except that each file would have a 1/2" grid overlay added so as to make mounting/cutting easier.) Included with the "Second Front special edition" as bonuses would be the following items not in the original 'Second Front' game: An extra sheet of game markers. A copy of the Axis Higher Headquarters & Second Front Errata Counters countersheet. A complete listing of all errata published for the game. A $25 coupon that could be used (at some point in the future) to take $25 off the price of either: a) a copy of Second Front (when it is reprinted about 2 years down the road) or b) a copy of the Second Front refit kit when that kit is released (also about 2 years down the road) . Special Edition:This game will require you to print/mount/cut out some counters. If you are uncertain about mounting/cutting your own counters we recommend that you check out the following external, unaffiliated website: http://privatewars.kyth.org/making_your_own_counters.htm It gives very good illustrated info on how to easily mount/cut your own counters using a variety of methods. Note: The "Second Front Refit Kit" would be a package of all 17 countersheets and updated maps - it will probably sell for about $150 when released. The intent is that between "Second Front special edition" and a copy of the "Second Front Refit Kit" you would ultimately have a complete copy of Second Front upgraded to the latest standards, for a total cost of about $175 ($100 for the 'Second Front special edition' and $75 (after $25 coupon discount) for the "Second Front Refit Kit'. However, the "Second Front special edition" would allow you to play Second Front NOW and would mean you would eventually end up with a lot of extra back-up components and for a total cost a bit less than what a new copy of Second Front will eventually sell for (about $200). We also offer two optional add-ons to the above: OPTION #1: As an addition to the above HMS will provide you with color copies of the 2 out-of-print countersheets (the ones you will get color adobe .pdf files for), both fronts and backs. OPTION #2: As an add-on to Option #1 above, HMS will mount your color copies of the countersheets on cardstock, with the fronts and backs correctly lined up. This cardstock would be almost identical to the thickness of the regular counters. The countersheets would then be ready for YOU to cut the counters out. We regret that we cannot arrange for the actual cutting of the counters themselves at this time - the process just takes time that we do not have at present (where we are concentrating on getting Total War out). Price: Basic game with NO optional add-ons: $100 (the reprinted game will probably sell for about $200) Basic game with option #1: $120 Basic game with options #1 and #2: $140 War in the Desert Special Edition -- Product #907se Description: This consists of the original, printed War in the Desert box (top and bottom) and all of the original printed components inside except that 2 (of the 6) countersheets would be provided as electronic color adobe .pdf files (the files would be print only - they will be security protected so that they cannot be modified in any way) that you would have to print out and mount/cut yourself. The adobe .pdf files would be exactly the same as the original counter artwork files except that each file would have a 1/2" grid overlay added so as to make mounting/cutting easier. Included as bonuses would be the following items not in the original game: An extra sheet of game markers. A complete listing of all errata for War in the Desert since it has been published.

Price: $250 (a savings of $270 from the $520 total if each issue were purchased separately). Product #TEMpack

Second Front Special Edition -- Product #905se

Description: This consists of the original, printed Second Front box (top and bottom), dice, rules set, all of the game charts, all 4 of the game maps, and 9 of the 17 countersheets; but the Axis and Allied order of battle booklets would be photocopies; and 8 of the countersheets would be provided as electronic color adobe .pdf files (the files would be print only - they will be security protected so that they cannot be modified in any way) that you would have to print out and mount/cut yourself. The adobe .pdf files would be exactly the same as the original counter artwork files except that each file would have a 1/2" grid overlay added so as to make mounting/cutting easier.) Included with the "Second Front special edition" as bonuses would be the following items not in the original 'Second Front' game:

An extra sheet of game markers.

A copy of the Axis Higher Headquarters & Second Front Errata Counters countersheet.

A complete listing of all errata published for the game.

A $25 coupon that could be used (at some point in the future) to take $25 off the price of either: a) a copy of Second Front (when it is reprinted about 2 years down the road) or b) a copy of the Second Front refit kit when that kit is released (also about 2 years down the road) .

Special Edition:This game will require you to print/mount/cut out some counters. If you are uncertain about mounting/cutting your own counters we recommend that you check out the following external, unaffiliated website: http://privatewars.kyth.org/making_your_own_counters.htm It gives very good illustrated info on how to easily mount/cut your own counters using a variety of methods.

Note: The "Second Front Refit Kit" would be a package of all 17 countersheets and updated maps - it will probably sell for about $150 when released. The intent is that between "Second Front special edition" and a copy of the "Second Front Refit Kit" you would ultimately have a complete copy of Second Front upgraded to the latest standards, for a total cost of about $175 ($100 for the 'Second Front special edition' and $75 (after $25 coupon discount) for the "Second Front Refit Kit'. However, the "Second Front special edition" would allow you to play Second Front NOW and would mean you would eventually end up with a lot of extra back-up components and for a total cost a bit less than what a new copy of Second Front will eventually sell for (about $200).

We also offer two optional add-ons to the above:

OPTION #1: As an addition to the above HMS will provide you with color copies of the 2 out-of-print countersheets (the ones you will get color adobe .pdf files for), both fronts and backs.

OPTION #2: As an add-on to Option #1 above, HMS will mount your color copies of the countersheets on cardstock, with the fronts and backs correctly lined up. This cardstock would be almost identical to the thickness of the regular counters. The countersheets would then be ready for YOU to cut the counters out. We regret that we cannot arrange for the actual cutting of the counters themselves at this time - the process just takes time that we do not have at present (where we are concentrating on getting Total War out).

Price:

Basic game with NO optional add-ons: $100 (the reprinted game will probably sell for about $200)

Basic game with option #1: $120

Basic game with options #1 and #2: $140

War in the Desert Special Edition -- Product #907se

Description: This consists of the original, printed War in the Desert box (top and bottom) and all of the original printed components inside except that 2 (of the 6) countersheets would be provided as electronic color adobe .pdf files (the files would be print only - they will be security protected so that they cannot be modified in any way) that you would have to print out and mount/cut yourself. The adobe .pdf files would be exactly the same as the original counter artwork files except that each file would have a 1/2" grid overlay added so as to make mounting/cutting easier. Included as bonuses would be the following items not in the original game:

An extra sheet of game markers.

A complete listing of all errata for War in the Desert since it has been published.

Special Edition:This game will require you to print/mount/cut out some counters. If you are uncertain about mounting/cutting your own counters we recommend that you check out the following external, unaffiliated website: http://privatewars.kyth.org/making_your_own_counters.htm It gives very good illustrated info on how to easily mount/cut your own counters using a variety of methods.
