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.

Lovely Throw, But Falls Short of Luxurious
I really like this two-sided throw, with its plush fur-like material on one side and silky velveteen on the other. The texture is warm and silky, and the color complements my sofa beautifully. However, while it’s a nice blanket, it doesn’t quite measure up to the same size throw I bought a month ago from a local German “here today, gone tomorrow” store. That European snuggle bundle, priced at a single Benjamin, has my entire family stealing it from one another. This throw could benefit from being a bit heavier, with a loftier fur side and thicker velvet to feel more luxurious—especially at twice the cost of the blanket we all love. ( black Friday/cyber Monday dropped it eight dollars) Without any discounts, the price feels inflated for what it is. It’s still a lovely addition to my home, but it falls short of five stars even at the discount price on the day of this review.

This throw is absolutely beautiful and so soft. It feels like bunny fur. It’s warm and cozy and perfect for the couch or end of the bed.

Too comfy and adorable 🤩
These socks are super soft and comfy, so cozy. These are the best feel good socks. The material is medium thick, so soft and fluffy. You may find a couple of fluff pieces here and there in your bed or floor after a while. They're still great socks to enjoy and lounge around in. I would suggest turning them inside out when you wash them. A good price for them too.
