"Nicaragua! Revolution in Central America is a simulation of the guerrilla warfare that had been a way of life in Central America for years. Although the game is set in Nicaragua and portrays the Somoza vs. Sandinista vs. Contra conflicts, it does not attempt to simulate those events in minute detail. The war against Somoza was a nearly perfect political victory for the Saninista guerrillas, despite their limited military success. On the other hand, the Contras, backed by a singularly unsuccessful U.S. policy, have attempted to oust the Sandinistas by ignoring the political aspects and running a conventional war at a large unit level.

Nicaragua! shows how modern revolutionary warfare works. The game involves both military and political struggles and includes such decisive factors as intelligence operations and propaganda. In the game, one player assumes the role of the Government, the other player is the Rebel. Each uses his political forces to gain popular and foreign support, raise forces, and demoralize the enemy. Each uses his military forces to hunt down and neutralize or eliminate his opponent. Players must be able to manipulate both military and political forces in order to win." -- from the rules.

Expert Shipping!!! I am a very careful shipper. Prior to eBaying I shipped thousands of items commercially. Out of 1500+ eBay shipments, there has not been a single report of a packing problem. The packing materials used are light weight and nearly impervious to harm! My feedback frequently compliments my attention to shipping.
Rules:

An e-mail response is required within 3 days from the end of the auction. Your mailing address and a statement of how you intend to pay needs to be included in the e-mail. Funds are due within 10 days from the ending date of the auction. Auction win may be cancelled and the item relisted if these requirements are not met.

Within the U.S. for this item I charge $4.00 as a handling fee plus actual shipping. I will combine items for shipping charging only for actual shipping, plus the highest handling fee cited in the listings for the items purchased, plus a $2.00 fee for each item after the first.

eBay charges fees of over 11% on Shipping Costs though I make no profit on these costs!! Nor do the fees I charge fully compensate me for the labor and materials necessary to process a purchase.

For international shipping, books and similar purchases can be shipped by via eBay International Standard Delivery (strongly recommended) or First Class Mail International (FCMI) which is generally $20 cheaper than Priority Mail International (PMI). All methods are INSURED. The handling fee for shipping is $10 or for PMI $8. Buyers choosing to ship PMI will be charged a $10 handling fee, but $2 will be refunded upon shipping. For multiple purchases, items will be combined to lower shipping costs. Buyers will be charged actual shipping, plus the highest handling fee cited in the listings for the items purchased, plus a $3 fee for each purchase after the first.

If Picture Perfect Comics determines the Buyer's address is not suitable for international service, the Buyer agrees to cancel this transaction without leaving feedback if he does not choose to pay for PMI service. In the event of loss or damage the buyer agrees to fill out all claim forms requested by the insurer of the shipment. The buyer also agrees that no refund for loss or damage be paid until the insurer has settled the claim.
