The Boardgamer Avalon Hill Player's Guide Collection
註釋

The publisher of The Boardgamer magazine created five special issues devoted entirely to one game within the Avalon Hill catalog.  They were known as Unofficial Player guides, but were considered the best collection of new information, variants, scenarios, rules variations, errata, inserts, and new articles written for these games.  Fans loved the materials, because it delivered new life into a game that was forgotten by Avalon Hill, but still cherished by the players.
