Description: .This game has a total of 389 counters including 5 blank counters.The game includes all 144 named counters, all 40 of the Preservation chits, all 20 of the panic chits. The instruction book does not give the count of all the other game generic markers, but every type of maker is present in some quantity. The determination that there were 16 blank counters originally comes from viewing the counter sheets of other Patrol games that are offered for sale. Also included is a pad of "SPI Simultaneous Movement Plotting Chart" ( not included in the inventory noted in the instruction book). Sequel to the game Sniper! Popular tactical combat system.As in Sniper, each player controls the equivalent of a squad of 5 to 15 men depending on the period, the scenario, and whether you attack or defend. One scenario corresponds to a few (one to five) minutes of real time action. The scale is a little larger than in Sniper (5 meters/hex, 5 seconds/turn vs 3 and 3 in Sniper), and there is no facing. The game system (though rated 7.1, ie pretty high, on SPI complexity scale), is quite straightforward and easy to learn. In the beginning of each turn, players secretly "buy" actions for all of their men. A normal man has 10 Movement Points to expend per turn. Fire, direct or opportunity, consumes all MP, as reloading one's weapon, or rearming (ie readying to use it after throwing a grenade or shooting a rifle grenade). Standing up, preparing a grenade, throwing it, cost 5MP. And movement costs MP depending on terrain... Looking for a War Game? Check my other listings. More to come (50 +).A lot of games on eBay are listed with the comment "seems to be complete". All of my games are inventoried to ensure they are complete. This means that small pieces are sorted and counted. In most cases, if there are any missing pieces, I can tell you which pieces are missing. This is time consuming and big dealers cannot invest the necessary time for this amount of detail.My games are priced to be equal to or lower than other listings in the "same general condition" as the ones that I am listing.
