Avalon Hill Crescendo of Doom - a Squad Leader gamette. 100% Complete*, fully punched, GOOD condition
This set is in good shape and is fully complete*. The counters are punched and in baggies - I inventoried them all (even those pesky British scout cars). The scenarios and QRDCs are in good shape and clean, though aging a bit, as is the rule book. The boards are also in good shape.  The box does have some issues, though it doesn't look bad.  So, a complete set - perfect for playing, not quite 'new' but pretty close.

Warts:
The box: the box has some shelf wear, the bottom has 3 corners split, and the top is split on the one side (see pics)
The rulebook is yellowing a bit with age
*No dice

An expansion gamette for the Squad Leader series, concentrating on early WWII (1939-1942) and the units and countries most involved during that time (Poland, Belgium, France, etc).  Thirty six page rule book is presented in programmed instruction format to introduce its twelve new scenarios. Two new 8" X 22" map boards, and over 1200 counters.  Lots of interesting scenarios in this one, but I like four in particular - The Borders are Burning - Finns defending against a mass Russian assault, The Dinant Bridgehead - Rommel and 7th Panzer crossing the Meuse, Ad Hoc at Beaurains - same 7th Panzer at Arras defending against Matildas with 37mm 'doorknockers', to be rescued by 88s later, and Chateau de Quesnoy - German Panzer Grenadiers and tanks going against dug in, hidden French elite infantry and 75s.  Of course, there are also airborne landings, motorcycle and bicycle troops, and Pz Is on the attack.

If you are looking at this you probably know, you need Squad Leader AND Cross of Iron to play this.
