This listing is for materials (see the list below for the non-counter materials) meant to improve the play of World War 3 (SPI).  This Variant Counter Set includes 800+ beautifully done Variant Counters including counters for Eurasia, Oceania, and East Asia included in the scenarios, but not in SPI's original counter set of 600.  The counters are the standard 1/2" square size (as are the game's original counters) and finely colored.  Some to all of the non-counter materials may emailed upon shipment of your purchase.  
      
The counters listed here are 1/2" size (as are other The Civil War counters), about the thickness of a standard counter (but not exactly the same thickness).  The Untested Generals Counter Set is laser printed!  The counters will be shipped individually cut rather than in uncut sheets.  The color shades of the actual counters may differ from those seen on your monitor.  Variant counters are sent to professional printers to produce a high quality product.  
                        
The listing for 600+ Variant Counters ($32.99) includes all of the material included in this listing, but NOT the 200+ counters for Eurasia, Oceania, and East Asia.    
     
  There is substantial labor involved in precisely cutting 800+ counters; the per counter cost of this listing is much lower than many other sets we have seen online.  It is not uncommon to pay $10 or more for 40 counters or less while this listing contains 20 times as many counters and bonus materials also!! 

Also included are:
                    
The 13 page article "World War Three" from Strategy & Tactics #47 (Nov. 1974) giving the SPI take on the situation while the game was being developed.
         
8 pages and 2 extra scenarios including the official 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis Scenario from Moves #9 and an Invasion America Scenario.
        
4 pages of Q&A with the Master James Dunnigan!
        
4 pages of unofficial errata.
        
World War 3 designed by James Dunnigan is a simulation of hypothetical scenarios of global conflict in the 70's and 80's.  Six scenarios of varying length and complexity are included for 2 to 3 players.  Lots of play variability as potential allies of each side may randomly not decide to join the hostilities!  Victory conditions depend on the particular scenario, though generally involve having the greater number of Industrial Hexes - functioning ones that is, as the losing side may decide to escalate the conflict by launching ICBMs!

      
Purchasing this list is an agreement not to duplicate for the purposes of resale any of the variant counters received.

              
Please note there is a $4.00 handling fee for this purchase. The fees charged do not fully compensate the labor and materials necessary to process a purchase. Purchases will ship within 5 business days.

Thin, Light, Very Functional - Fantastic tablet
Color: Gray, Size: 256 GB, Style: Tab A11+, Color: Gray, Size: 256 GB, Style: Tab A11+
First off you only get a tablet, an USB-C to USB-C cable, quickstart instructions and Sumsung care info. That's it. No charger, no nothing else. Even the screen doesn't come with a protector, the tablet itself comes in a fabric/paper like bag. So advice: Buy a screen protector and/or case for this tablet! It's very thin and light weight! The tablet itself is fantastic. It plays all the games so far I threw at it, even the graphic intense ones. Compared to some Chinese ripoffs, this shines like a champ. The 256 gigs of space is plenty and 8 gigs of ram help alot! Truly the tablet is great for my use - Playing games and watching videos. I'm a little upset for the fact that it doesn't come with any charging device, but my phone's charger works fine. The USB-C to USB-C cable may come in handy (but my old PRO12 tablet uses the older usb port). Overall I'm very pleased with it. The games I played on my Moto G phone play fantastic on the A11+ plus it can play much more. Also I don't stream so I put videos on the tablet. My old tablet I had to convert them to make the compatible. The A11+ and Android 16 shines here. It can play most all my videos without conversion, even 4k HDR videos natively! And the sound it great with four speakers as well! Only downfall is the warranty. When I registered the tablet says something about the country of origin so I don't have warranty for the tablet. Just remember to have a charger for it, screen protector and I recommend a case!

All you need in retirement
Color: Gray, Size: 256 GB, Style: Tab A11+
Great purchase in comparison with Fire and the Tab S. Does everything I need it to do: read books, email, pay bills, chat, etc. The price was right and it's a good solid tablet without too much complications. I have a Samsung Galaxy smartphone so both are complementary to each other. One comment, Samsung does not provide an actual plug, just the cable...not the best customer service act for sure but seems like all of them are doing it now. Otherwise, I'm pleased with it.

No Fingerprint reader.
Color: Gray, Size: 128 GB, Style: Tab A11+
Nice tablet. I find the video quality to just OK. That may be because I haven't found the optimal settings. The biggest drawback is my fault for sure. The tablet doesn't have a fingerprint reader. All my phones and previous tablets had that. I now know it a higher end feature. But as a casual tablet this is fine.
