1812
Published 1972
Two versions are included, using separate maps covering most of Russia. The strategic game is area driven, while the tactical version covers the game scope but using hex mechanics. There is an earlier version of the box that is NOT plastic, it is a completely cardboard box. Many of the early SPI games came in these cardboard boxes until someone bright decided that the plastic ones would be cheaper and more easily manipulated for advertising. 400 Counters
