Spi (1978) The Next War - The Next War In Europe (nato Vs Warsaw Pact War Game) For Sale

---

Simulation Publications, Inc's (SPI)Board Wargame, The Next War - Modern Conflict in Europe, published in 1978, is a highly detailed simulation of what a war between NATO abd tge Warsaw Pact in the late 1970's might have looked like.The game was designed by the legendary SPI design team of James F. Dunnigan (Game Design), Redmond A. Simonsen (Graphic Design) and Mrk Herman (Developer). The Game contains a 48 page rules booklet, a 40 page senarios and briefing booklet which contains extensive background and order of battle information, 5 maps [(3) 22"x38" / (1) 10"x12" Extension / (1) 6"x8" Extension], 2400 die cut playing pieces and markers and numerous player aids. It is this type of game upon which the reputation of SPI as a leader in wargame design and development was based and which lives on today. I purchased this copy of The Next War new for my wargame collection approximately 35 years ago when it was first released. The game counters are unpunched and in like new, mint condition; as are the game maps. The box is in basically good contdition with very little shelf wear, except that one corner of the lid is split - apparently from age. The rules booklet and the senario book are lightly stained (I spilled a coke), but in otherwise good used condition and completely legible.

I am a collector, not an Dealer. I am using as my version of a yard / garage sale to sell items that I have collected over the years that are now stored away in drawers or on closet shelves gathering dust and deserve a better fate. My Wife is starting to refer to these sales, with apologies to Edgar Allen Poe, as my premature estate sale. I am listing items for sale for 7 days. I am starting the sales at what I believe to be a low starting offer based upon prior sales of comparable items, and without a reserve since my objective is to sell the items at the market price rather than a predetermined minimum to make a certain profit level (in manycases, I don't even remember what I paid for an item). I ship once a week, on Fridays. I will ship all items for which I have received confirmed payment by12:00 noon (Eastern Time) the previous day (Thursday).I accept only PayPal for payment. Payment is expected within5 days of the close of the sale unless prior arrangements have been made. The pictures included with this sale are of the actual item being saleed. I have described the condition of the item to the best of my knowledge and ability. All sales are as is and final. Since I normally do not accept returns, please ask any questions prior to offerding. If you have any questions or problems, please contact me. I do accept some foreign buyers. Foreign buyers are responsible for all import andtax / fee costs associated with the purchase of this item.The USPS recently raised its rates (in my opinion by a considerable amount) and changed its terms and conditions of some services. One of the effects appears to be closing the gap between Parcel Post and Priority Mail.Therefore, if the cost difference between Priority Mail and Parcel Postis less than $1.00 or it is a high value item, I plan to use Priority Mail.For USA buyers, the shipping costs shown are for the 48 lower continental states only. Shipping to Hawaii or Alaska will be higher so if you live in one of those 2 states, please wait to pay until I send you an invoice. For foreign buyers, the rates shownare for Canada and the United Kingdom.The rateswill vary from country to country, and will most likly be higher than Canada.Canadian ratesmay vary based upon location. If you are a foreign buyer FROM ANY COUNTRY and win an sale, please wait until I send you a invoice before paying.
