Note: The earliest issues of Strategy and Tactics Magazine did not have games included in them.
Notes about SPI Reprint Editions:  Simulations Publications continuously reprinted their earliest issues for several years to sell as part of their mail order line.  (You can see the ads in most issues).  Unlike the reprints of the later issues that were like a normal magazine (saddle stitched and at least had the ‘courtesy’ to be labeled reprints in some cases); these were frequently only photocopies produced on the antiquated copy machines of the time.  They really are ‘official’ even though they are good for little more than reading copies with slight collector value.
This is an “official” SPI reprint of this early issue.  The original issue was printed on oversize glossy paper.
This is a later printing on both sides on regular size paper with a corner staple. The magazine shows areas of age discoloration particularly on the front and back. There is a number written on the cover. This is not a particularly good copy. The back page is detached and some of the interior pictures did not copy well. (see scans)
