[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 545355, member: 84"]I found this at a local thrift store & when I researched it, I couldn't find another example for sale - or even a front view of the game/case! I did find that a company 'Rival Interactive' made almost exact copies of the original games that were made by the Joint Staff for it's military members. In this link they have my version facing backwards to the camera!

It was never released outside of the U.S. military. Released on May 17, 2000. The game is, apart from minor differences in interface and unit statistics for balancing, (For example, the [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLRS']MLRS[/URL] units in JFE have much longer range than in Real War) virtually identical to the Real War games released for civilian market. [/LIST] So do I have something special here? Any thoughts or info about it would be appreciated. PS - Mine is still sealed Thanks again [ATTACH=full]169351[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]169353[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
