It will be interesting to see the price for which this punched copy finally sells.  Keep us posted.

At one point the book was being posted for silly amounts in excess of £100 but then came down to something sensible. This I suspect has some genuine rarity value, I did not know that the game existed in this form (I wasn't ancient wargaming when it was published).

The game does hold collector value.  I have seen copies bring big prices but recent sales on Boardgame Geek have been sparse and those prices have softened.  Still have an unpunched copy that I have yet to punch and play.

Unlike the book, which I think had several printings and is, therefore, not uncommon secondhand, the game was a limited release and more rarely seen.

That was my understanding too
