Only 1,000 copies of S&T #1 were printed with an initial circulation of 160.  It seems that it took years to get the circulation up to 1200, but by issue #17, otherwise known as Volume 3 #1 circulation had dropped to 736.  There is no citation in Book I of its print run or even of when it was published.  With so few copies of the original issues of Strategy & Tactics published, Strategy & Tactics Book I is an excellent bargain as it contains the otherwise nearly impossible to get first 6 issues at a very low price!

An interesting story related in Book I involves the early thinking of the founders of Strategy & Tactics.  They were unhappy with the quality of articles in The General Magazine.  They reasoned that as The General Magazine had a circulation of 5,000, they should be able to sell 1,000 of the first issue and build the circulation from there.  But Avalon Hill had grossly overstated their circulation.  In reality it was under 2,000.  While are several moral and practical lessons (my favorite being how Avalon Hill spawned a competitor by overstating their popularity) to be learned here, because of this misconception a cornerstone of wargaming was started which survived Avalon Hill by two plus decades.

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value. By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!
