Hi Pip! :)
I actually still have three (3) Panzerblitz boxed games (complete with counters, boards and rules folder) in their original book shelf-style packaging!
Why 3 you may ask? Because in my earlier wargaming years, I had simultaneous PBM (snail mail) games underway... and I did not want to break down and have to set-up the game boards and counters each turn. I used a game cabinet and stored each "battle" on a separate bulletin cork board. These bulletin boards had frames that allowed the Panzerblitz #1, #2, and #3 boards to lay flat and kept them from moving / sliding out of position. I could stack 3 bulletin board battles (BBB's) without upsetting the unit counter stacks!
Ah, the "good" old days! Glad these days are behind me now! :whis:
