The first one. The original war game. This game was produced in small quantites, and was sold mail order only. Charles S. Roberts, created this game in 1952 and self published in 1954. The success of this game, led him to create Avalon Hill. The first 1/2" cardboard counter makes an appearence, a hex map is still in the future. This map is all squares. This is truly a piece of history and the war game hobby.
This copy is from the Charles S. Roberts Auction in 1983. The box has some damage in the lower left hand corner of the box, a sligtht split, however the box bottom is intact. The other three corners are in good shape, There is scuffing on the sides, but nothing significant. The cover other than the split in the lower left hand corner is in excellent shape.
