Item Description
Notes on 2nd Edition: Pursuit of Glory: The Great War in the Near East is a sequel to the famous World War I card-driven game, Paths of Glory. Consistently rated in the top 100 war games on board game geek over the last decade, Pursuit of Glory was a 2009 Golden Geek Best War Game Nominee. This game puts you in the driver's seat of the British/Russian alliance or the Ottoman Empire during World War One. Gallipoli, holy war, mutiny, and the Russian Revolution await. Walk in the shoes of men such as Churchill, Lawrence of Arabia, Enver, and Falkenhayn.

The second edition will include:

- Two card decks, one for each player, with card clarifications and the latest updates

Pursuit of Glory is a stand-alone sequel to Paths of Glory, a card-driven strategy game covering the first World War. Unlike the original game, which focused on the European theater of World War I, Pursuit of Glory focuses entirely on the Great War in the Middle East. Pursuit of Glory uses the same card-driven mechanics and point-to-point of the first game, but with some rules changes and modifications to better simulate the conditions of the war in the Middle East.

DESCRIPTION
Pursuit of Glory: The Great War in the Near East is a sequel to the award-winning Paths of Glory. This game puts you in the driver's seat of the British/Russian alliance or the Ottoman Empire during World War One. Gallipoli, holy war, mutiny, and the Russian Revolution await. Walk in the shoes of men such as Churchill, Lawrence of Arabia, Enver, and Falkenhayn.

The action stretches from India to the Balkans, from the Black Sea to Suez. Can the Germans inspire a Persian uprising or forge an alliance with Afghanistan? Can the Russians capture a warm water port? Can the British guard the oil that fuels the Royal Navy? Can the Turks capture the Suez Canal and spark a revolt in Egypt?

In Pursuit of Glory you will constantly feel that you're on the razor's edge--on the verge of impending doom or of breakthrough and total victory. Your hand of 7 cards presents you with a rich array of strategic and operational opportunities. You must decide whether to use each card for its historic event, command points, or resources. You must then commit your forces to a variety of objectives: the Turkish-Russian frontier in Caucasia, the violation of neutral Persia, oil-rich Mesopotamia, the Suez Canal, and/or the Balkans and its vital railroads. You must judge when it is right to invade Serbia or launch a new naval invasion (perhaps on the inset map representing Gallipoli).

As the British, you must hold on while your Russian allies break through the Turkish lines in Caucasia and bring your forces to bear through invasion and a gradual build-up of imperial might. As the Turks, your objective is to gain complete victory early, uniting your strength with Germany and crippling the British Empire in Egypt and India OR to persevere.

If you are looking for a game that is relevant, dynamic, fun, tense, and a frantic roller coaster of a game, you will enjoy Pursuit of Glory.

Two full color counter sheets
110 full color playing cards

About Us

PBM Express USA has been in the business of putting smiles on people's faces for many years now. We specialize in statues and figurines based on popular videogames like Zelda, SuperMario, Sonic, Dark Souls and many others. We also have a large range of figures and toys based on the popular Manga series from the 70s  Grendizer (Goldorak) and MazingerZ. And finally we carry a large selection of popular and hard-to-find boardgames.

We guarantee 100% satisfaction, If you are not happy with your purchase we offer free returns. All our products are 100% genuine, licensed and purchased from the manufacturer directly. No fakes. Certificates of authenticity are always included if they are part of the statue. Please also read the thousands of positive feedbacks and reviews left by our customers, many of which are repeat customers.

We ship 99% of the time within 24 hours. In many cases we allow free local pickups. However, other than a boardgaming store, we do not have physical stores, but rather work with 3rd party fulfillment centers, that do allow pickups for statues. If you are in the Central Florida region we can arrange for you to pick up boardgames locally.

Payment

When you buy an item from us, payment is due immediately. Ebay does not allow for 'payment plans' or 'split payments' (yet)

That said, we can wait a few days if that helps, but more than 3-4 days is not possible.

If you are looking for credit the only option right now that I am aware of is a payment plan offered by Paypal (depending on your credit also) or your credit card itself.

Shipping

We pride ourselves on our fast shipping times, usually 24 hours (1 working day) after you place your order. Tracking is updated in your ebay purchase order automatically, so you can follow your item on its journey to you. If you do not see movement of your item within 2 days please let us know right away and we'll investigate.

Domestically we use USPS, UPS or Fedex at our discretion. USPS is a Priority Service and Fedex and UPS are normally Ground services, although you can opt to upgrade those to Priority or Express services. To see the shipping cost to your location click on 'see details' in the listing.

If you have a PO Box, you can only use USPS. UPS and Fedex do not deliver to PO Boxes.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Ebay currently uses the ebay International shipping program (eIs) but a lot of the statues are excluded from the program due to the size of the boxes. In many cases I can still ship them with UPS but the cost of shipping has to be determined on an individual basis. Each statue and each country are different. If you are trying to purchase an item and your country is not on the shipping list, send me an email and I can calculate it for you.

As an alternative to this what seems to work for a lot of international buyers is the use of a freight forwarder, such as Planet Express, Parcel Monkey, Aramex or MyUS. There are many such companies in the USA. We would ship to the local drop point (domestic) of your freight forwarder and they would handle the international part of it. Depending on the item you can choose a drop point close to our warehouse in Long Beach, CA (zip 90805), Houton, TX (zip 77054) or Clermont, FL (zip 34711). In those cases, the domestic cost of the shipment would be very low.

Also, you can clear the item through customs yourself.

If you are interested in this, please contact the freight forwarder of your choice and open an account with them. They will provide you with a US shipping address for all your purchases as well as shipping rates.

Please send us an email if you need to know the weight and dimensions of an item.

What is the status of my shipment?

You can track each individual item on ebay.com. Go to 'My eBay' and then click on 'Purchase History' and each item will list a tracking number which if you click it will show the latest known status. 

Can I change my address after I placed the order?

Because of ebay regulalations I can only ship it to the address you used during check out. If that is not a good address I will have to cancel the transaction and refund the money and you will have to repurchase the item again and use the correct address this time. 

I am not home when Fedex/UPS normally delivers the items. Can you change the address or redirect it to a Fedex store?

The Fedex/UPS account I use belongs to Ebay so I cannot change anything relating to the shipments. After 3 failed delivery attempts Fedex/UPS will hold the item in its local hub for up to 10 days before returning it. You can call the local hub and make arrangements to pick up the item during that period. 

Do you offer combined shipping on multiple items?

Yes we do combine shipping. Just add all items to your cart and click 'Request Total from Seller' and "Comnmit to Buy". This does not always work on the ebay mobile app. In case it does not work there, please try it on a pc. After I receive the request I will send an invoice with the total combined shipping charges. Then you can pay. If you do not like the deal I will cancel it without a problem. This is the most efficient way to do it. 

As for statues due to their size I cannot combine those in 1 package. The box would also be too big and heavy and it would actually increase the risk of damage as these large boxes are difficult to handle. Thanks for your understanding.

My item is lost in transit, can you help?

Rarely items get lost, but if it takes too long shoot us a message. Also check with your neighbors or front office to see if the item was accidentally delivered there. We can put in an inquiry with the shipper to see if they can locate the item. All items are covered 100% against loss and damage in transit.

I would like to pick up my item, what do I do?

Other than the gaming store in Clermont, we do not have physical stores. We work with 3rd party warehouses in Long Beach, CA and Sturtevant, WI and they do allow pickups. Depending on the item I can arrage for pickups there. And all boardgames (only!) can be picked up in Clermont, FL. If you are interested in a Local Pickup and the item does not have this option available in the shipping section of the listing, let me know and I will fix it.

After the purchase you will be directed to the warehouse where you will have to identify yourself with your driver license and you will be handed the statue. You CANNOT inspect it. These are a 3rd party independent warehouses so all they do is they store my inventory and ship it out. They are not part of my company. If there are any issues you will have to communicate with me. 

After the purchase please provide the 6-digit code ebay provides you and I will give you instructions on how to collect the item from the warehouse.

General FAQ

What is the edition number of the statue?
The statues are stored in a 3rd party warehouse in Long Beach, CA or Sturtevant, WI. I am located in Florida. So unfortunately I cannot give you the edition # until after the statue ships.

Are the statues genuine?
We are an official dealer of First4Figures and all other companies we deal with. You can check their website. All our statues come directly from F4F by seacontainer. They are factory sealed and have the Certificate of Authenticity. So no worries the statues are genuine. Please also read my feedback.

Can I have a picture of the actual statue or the shipping box?
The statues are stored in a 3rd party warehouse in Long Beach, CA or Sturtevant, WI. I am located in Florida. So unfortunately I cannot make pictures of it. Also 99% of the statues I sell are factory sealed straight from F4F China and I would not open the box to take pictures. I can provide the edition number after it ships. Please check our feedback also if you are on the fence. We have a lot of happy customers.

Can you inspect the statue?
No the statues are factory sealed and we do not open the box to inspect them or take pictures.
