The counter set includes 110+ counters each with a picture of the general the counter represents!!!  See the sample below.  Also included are materials (30+ pages) for use with "The Civil War."  Record sheets, FAQs, reference sheets, a large section on strategy, articles from the General Magazine on strategy (see below), and more are featured.  The counters are 1/2" size (as are standard The Civil War counters) and about the thickness of a standard counter (but not exactly the same thickness).  New Improvement: The Variant Counter Set is now laser printed with much more vivid colors!  The counters will be shipped individually cut rather than in uncut sheets (a fair amount of labor actually). 

We offer 3 separate listings of Expansion material for "The Civil War" to allow buyers to pick and choose the materials that best suit them, so please check those listings as well.  One listing includes all of my Expansion materials for "The Civil War" at one reduced price and the other features a lively analysis of the "Untested General Issue" along with variants and a counter set to fix the problem.  Today the differences in abilities between Robert E. Lee and virtually every Union General he faced until Grant's rise in command are well known.  "The Civil War" game accounts for these differences, but in doing so each of the game's players has the advantage of vital future knowledge, which their counterparts Lincoln and Davis lacked.  Victory Games printed an important variant (included there) with a remedy and the gaming community ran with the ball from there.  None of the Untested Generals material is included in this listing.  Some to all of the non-counter materials may emailed upon shipment of your purchase.  
      
  The color shades of the actual counters may differ from those seen on your monitor.  Because of the labor and printing (variant counters are sent to professional printers to produce a high quality product) involved it may take 5 business days to ship this item.
                              
Articles included from the General Magazine are:
 
“The Battle Hymn of the Republic - Union Strategy” Peter J. Walsh.
       
“A Fabian Strategy for THE CIVIL WAR - Southern Strategy” by Kevin Kiconas.
        
“The Initial Turn of THE CIVIL WAR - Command Priorities” by K. S. Reid.
       
“Forward to Nashville!- Early Union Strategy in The Civil War” by Derek Croxton.
       
“The Solid South - Defending the Confederacy in The Civil War” by Sam Mustafa.
      
“The Generals in Blue and Gray- An analysis of leaders in The Civil War” by Charles E.Duke.
     
The Civil War was one of the most played Civil War game systems ever published and drew rave notices from many quarters.  Its popularity was vital in establishing Victory Games in the minds and hearts of many of the gamers, cut adrift by the demise of SPI.  It is rated as high complexity with a high suitability for solitaire play.  There are 4 scenarios corresponding to a year in length, along with the campaign game which covers the entire war.  The Civil War is the winner of the 1983 Charles S. Roberts Award for Best Pre-20th Century Game.  If stuck on a desert island with only one Civil War game, many veteran Civil War players would probably choose this one!
       
Purchasing this listing 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.

Excellent scale in all ways.
Size: EK6002
I’ve used this identical scale for four years, though with a different brand name on it, still identical, made in China with a friendly “Hello” on the splash screen when you turn it on. After approximately 1,000 uses in four years, it suddenly died one day, lost its mind and became obviously useless. When that happened there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to replace it with exactly the same scale because I liked the old one so much. The controls are logically laid out, the display is bright, it automatically turns itself off after a few minutes if you forget about it. I’ve tested it with standard weights and it’s precisely accurate. It’s correctly sized for its task (a coffee scale), it’s slim, light, has a removable, washable rubber mat that covers the weighing platform, and is altogether a winner in design and utility, and there’s no reason to change anything about it. When this one fails, I’ll be happy enough to buy another. It costs twenty bucks . . .

Simple, does the trick.
Size: EK6002
It's a simple, basic scale. Lightweight, it's easy to move from where I stash it to where I use it for measuring coffee. The unit of measure holds it setting when you turn it off, which is nice. I use it in grams for coffee, which is 95% of my use. I acquired a big bag of coffee (5lbs or so) which I broke down into smaller vacuum-packed bags for storage, measured out at 180g each. The scale mostly performed like a champ, although it drifted off zero twice between during bags. Simply shutting restarting the scale got it back on track. It works for me, if you're a hardcore candy maker or baker, you may want a higher quality unit.

Great scale, great price.
Size: EK6002
3 years in, this scale was well worth the $23 cost . Still works flawlessly. I use it multiple times per day for coffee and cooking. Honestly if it had been twice that much it would have been worth it. Partially because of the price point, I don't know if I could come up with a complaint if I had to give one.

Great addition to our coffee station.
Size: EK6002
Love it. It's accuracy might be a little fuzzy about measuring the last tenth of a gram, probably due to rounding. But it showed a difference when a single coffee bean was added. Easy to read. The removable pad makes it easier to clean. It fits right on my little coffee station. To be honest, I didn't read the instructions. It's fairly intuitive if you know how they are supposed to work. I like it.
