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 600+ beautifully done Variant Counters.  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 about the thickness of a standard counter (but not exactly the same thickness).  The counters are the size and very near the thickness of a standard counter with vivid laser printed colors. Some of the non-counter items will be downloadable from links sent in an email.  There is substantial labor involved in precisely cutting 600+ counters; the per counter cost of this listing is much lower than many other sets I have seen on eBay.  It is not uncommon to pay $10 or more for 40 counters or less while this listing contains 15 times as many counters!! 

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.
                        
Also included is the following (some of which will be downloadable from links sent in an email):
                
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.

stiff pillows

These pillows are quite stiffer than i expected but i guess that means they keep their shape.

This is my third time purchasing these nice and comfortable pillows
Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White, Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White
This will be my third time purchasing these pillows. I and my many guests that have had the opportunity to be able to use these pillows in my guest room have spoke of the wonderful and comfortable they were sleeping with them. And they seem to hold up well and are structured nicely as not to lose there stitching in there construction. I am very please and feel the cost is quite reasonable to store pillows in there purchase price category. Kind regards, J Slade

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Comfortable pillows with good support
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I purchased the EIUE Hotel Collection bed pillows (2 pack) looking for something comfortable and supportive, and overall they’ve been a good addition to my bed. The pillows arrived well packaged and fluffed up nicely after opening. They feel soft but still provide decent support for sleeping. I’m mostly a side and back sleeper, and these pillows have worked well without feeling too flat. They hold their shape better than I expected and don’t require constant fluffing during the night. The fabric feels smooth and breathable, which helps keep them comfortable. My only small downside is that they’re slightly softer than what I personally prefer, but that really comes down to personal preference. Overall, these are comfortable, good-quality pillows that offer nice support and value for the price. I’d recommend them if you’re looking for hotel-style pillows that are soft yet supportive.

These pillows are exactly as described, I would say they are softer than I expected but still very good. They come compressed so it will take an hour or so for them to fill up so you will want to open these before bedtime. All in All if you are looking for a reasonably priced pillow that will last a couple of months I would recommend these.
