Up Front Compilation Rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

This 57 page, glossy cover rule book includes all of the original rules for Avalon Hill's classic games Up Front, Banzai and Desert War. All known errata from the originals have been fixed in this compilation. And it fits in  a standard bookshelf size game box! Replace all your dog-eared original rule sets with this all-in-one title. 

We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

Sorry I do not have voicemail and do not speak French or German. Drive through has unintentionally forced me to execute my last two transactions in these languages

You should be able to go to your library and download the rule set that is included in the bundle.

How much is for shipping the rulebook to the UK please?
And while I'm asking,also shipping costs for the complete Up Front/Banzai/Desert War sets?
I have the original Up Front & Banzai,but unlikely to find an original Desert War.
And as your reprints differ in size,would look odd getting just Desert War.
Thanks.

Hi John,
You can determine the exact shipping cost to your address by adding the product to your cart and the cart will give you different shipping options. You can always remove items from the cart. Note that you would actually need to make two separate orders, one for the printed book and another for the card products. All of our cards are printed at a specialist card printing facility in the US where they don't print books. But we have book printing in both the UK and US so the rule set will have less shipping cost to you.

Good question Robin! Our card products are printed at a card specialist print location in the U.S., and our books are printed at different book printing shops, depending on where you are in the world it may be in the U.S. or the U.K. The printing processes are quite different between cards and books and since they're printed at different locations, the shipping would also be different, so we handle them as separate transactions.

Why does the printed compilation rules have to be ordered separately from other Up Front items?

A quick question - I downloaded this to confirm it's what I was looking for, and noticed that the page quality alternates from "clean type" to "poor bitmap" in terms of readability (compare page 3 to page 4 for example).

Is this intentional? And, is it all clean in the paid-for or printed versions?

Thank you!

Hi James,

I just looked at my print copy, pages 3&4 each look like the same quality to me. These are scans of the 35 year old originals tho, other than fixing a few typos we didn't rewrite them so they are just like AH made them back then. We have had mostly good comments about the printed rulebooks tho, and they are likely in better shape than any of the originals!

"An updated version of this title is now available. An additional page has been added."

Which page has been added, so for those of us who have already printed this could just add the page.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
