How many "booklets" of counters are there supposed to be for the Battlesystem Boxed Set? And how many booklets of 3-D cardboard cut-outs are there supposed to be?

Cheers!

4 booklets of counters.  One booklet of cutouts with 8 pages.

Hoping someone can fill me in on the miniatures that were included with the Battlesystem box set.  Were the two included always the same (good and evil generals) or did TSR run out of them and use other minis to fill the sets?  I purchased a Battlesystem set in shrink years ago.  It is a first printing and I don't believe that it was reshrinked (its been a long time and I wouldn't recall what the shrink looked like anyway).  I removed the shrink and it had two miniatures included but they do not match what is listed here:

I've got the item up on Ebay and a seller is curious about it but I don't know for sure.  I searched the forums for more info but didn't find anything pertinent.    The photo of the minis on the back of the box don't even have enough detail to tell and rpggeek and a few other places don't really have enough info either.

Here is the auction with the photo of the minis:

Thanks for whatever info you guys can provide!

The link I posted was the same one you did, but for some reason when I made my post, it triple posted and kicked me off the page.  I deleted the two or three duplicate posts and tried to edit the URL but the page just kept locking up so I figured to hell with it.

I figure the minis that are in my box are simply the wrong ones and I have a reshrinked set....which sucks.

That could be.  I bought my set when it first came out.  I sold it for about what I paid for it, without the generals, many years later.  I still own those minis, but they are nicely painted.  

Good General


Evil General

I got my BattleSystem used, and the generals are still bagged with one 2"/50mm pike/spear for the Good General.  

Did the spear come with the box originally?

SimperingToad wrote in Battlesystem boxed set question:Mine did. Just a standard metal rod that (as far as I know) was common for minis intended for tabletop warfare BitD.

Mine came with the metal rod and a spear tip.

Anyone have a picture of the Good General's spear/pike, by chance?

Mars wrote in Battlesystem boxed set question:From memory, I remember reading somewhere that the minis ended up being a mish-mash of what was left around.

I also wondering if at some point they stopped including them.  I must have had at least a dozen of these sets and rarely are the generals included.  In many of the cases all of the other contents are included and are unpunched but the generals are missing.

They were indeed a mish-mash, Mark.  My original set came with a TSR goblin and a female bard as the respective generals.  I've had several others since, and the miniatures included were random selections from the TSR miniatures line.
