We want to thank everyone that has participated in the Fire Sale to date. The sale has raised about 65% of the money needed to finish the printing of Total War. An updated and expanded fire sale list is shown below. Added to the sale are more copies of War or Resistance, a special edition of First to Fight, and (as asked for by several individuals), a complete list of all countersheets and maps that are available for sale outside of the games.
Shipping costs have been adjusted a bit, especially for shipments to Alaska/Hawaii where we have figured out a way to lower shipping costs to those areas: Put the game into a much larger flat-rate game box and the price goes down! Even though half of the box is now air!
The Europa Magazine Bundle Pack went up some in cost because our local cut-rate copy center is no longer quite so cut rate. The bundle is still a bargain, however.
We were able to assemble some more copies of War of Resistance because the box with countersheet G1 which we thought had gone permanently AWOL during the recovery process was returned by another tenant of the building – the cleanup company gave it to her mistakenly and she called asking if we were missing a box of very strange puzzle pieces!
We also now have a special edition of First to Fight available for sale. This is a plain white box, with all original counters, rules, OBs, and charts + a full-color high-quality photocopy of the map the game is played on.
For the current and final version of the Fire Sale see the HMSFireSaleFinal link under the HMS News – July 18, 20
Good to see the new order sheet up, but the offer I was after
First to Fight Refit Kit = $30 + shipping (A=$5, B=$5, C=$10, D=$17, E=$17)
Balkan Front Refit Kit = $20 + shipping (A=$5, B=$5, C=$10, D=$17, E=$17)
If you order both refit kits, you pay only shipping cost for one refit kit.
Does not seem to be there!
IRT Michael: The Balkan Front Refit Kit is still available per the “Game Parts” page of the revised flyer:
Balkan Front Refit Kit: 3 sheets of upgraded counters + 2nd Edition OB/Rules/Charts. Normally sells for $45 + shipping.
Each kit Fire Sale Priced at $30 + shipping (counts as 6 countersheets).
Note that we’ve upgraded the refit kit so it now includes everything that was in the Balkan Front box except the maps and dice.
If you want a First to Fight Refit Kit we’ll sell you one of these as well. It would include the four revised countersheets, the revised OB, and the revision guide.
Each kit Fire Sale Priced at $30 + shipping (counts as 6 countersheets).
Taken together this would be US $60 + shipping (A=$5, B=$5, C=$10, D=$17, E=$17) with both refit kits in same priority mail flat-rate envelope.
I’m happy to say I received my unfolded TW maps today and am delighted – They are awesome.
I hope as many people as possible who enjoy playing Europa will take a good look at the Fire Sale, and order whatever they can justify/afford!
Might it be worth making it more public and up front in your posts that it is possible to pre-order Total War itself in the fire-sale, and then to take advantage of the TW maps and counters deals etc?
I didn’t realise this was an option til I examined the fire sale listing itself – and there may be others who like me had not pre-ordered before now because of the cost involved in shipping to the UK/elsewhere when buying direct from the US etc…
Picked up my magazine and mini maps from the post office today (had been delivered whilst I was away). Should give me something to read until the TW game(s) arrive!
I noticed that some Second Front maps and counter sheets are now available in the game parts list. Are these all the maps and counters required to play Second Front? If so, is there any way to get a copy of the rules, charts, and OBs too–even electronic versions of them? That would make for a playable game, and I’d consider buying them if I could piece the game together.
Thanks and best wishes for the new year!
IRT David Wise – The option you refer to is specifically listed in the flyer. But we deliberately made it somewhat low key because there are a significant minority of people who are NOT happy about us taking money for any more copies of Total War to be delivered in the future. So, it’s in the flyer if you look, and I’ll explain it to anyone who asks, but we did not put it up front so as to not set off our detractors.
IRT Chris Jackson – Yes the Second Front Rules, OBs, and Charts are still available (almost all of them in the original printed versions); we even have four of the original printed boxes left. If you want a complete a set as possible of Second Front that we currently have available, we’ll sell you all of this in an original box for $60 + shipping (A=$14, B=$16, C=$36, D=$50, E=$54). This gets you the original box, all of the original maps, eight of the original 16 countersheets, all of the original Rules and charts, photocopies of the OBs, and a printout of the current errata to the game.). And we’ll send you electronic color .pdf files for the eight out-of-print countersheets if you are interested in printing/mounting/diecutting your own sheets of these..
