Complete, Unplayed, and Unpunched!

The cover (high grade excellent condition with slight creasing mostly at the right corners), magazine with rules attached (high grade excellent condition due to slight mostly-in-the borders creasing at the right corners, otherwise with glossy smooth pages, no marks, highlighting, etc.), full color 22" x35" map (high grade excellent condition with bright clean colors and some creasing in the border areas), and 200 counters (unpunched, new condition) are all in high grade excellent to new condition.

The Outstanding Bonus includes a copy of the 2nd Edition Rules with errata which did not appear in the original magazine, plus a turn worksheet, variant combat and purchases tables, a video game review, several game reviews, and a bit more.  Also included are errata from S&T # 73, but you would probably be better off to ignore this along with the 1st Edition Rules and just use the 2nd Edition Rules.  We have heard a number of testimonies through the years about how unplayable the 1st (magazine) edition rules are.
  Some to all of the bonus will be sent by email upon shipping your purchase.   All bonus and extras material are available for sale separately if requested.

Second Edition rules are designed by the outstanding team of Eric Goldberg and Greg Costikyan, who each individually authored many many popular games.  Armada, itself was rather popular and stayed in print through several printings and editions.

Armada is a strategic simulation of two critical years in the Anglo-Spanish conflict with emphasis placed on financial planning vital to waging a campaign.  Each player must carefully plan a cost-efficient strategy.
