From BGG ...

The Avalon Hill edition is a one to four player game, featuring the Spanish (green counters), French (blue counters), English (pink counters) and Portuguese (yellow counters). This edition of the game was published in 1982 with a mounted map in a bookcase box. The "Fur Traders & Buccaneers" variant in The GENERAL Vol.21 No.5 added counters and rules for Dutch, Danish, and slave units.

  • About the Conquistador Module:
  • Version 1.3
    • Conquistador version 1.3 contains everything that is in 1.2 and 1.1.
    • Adds the Avalon Hill Version of the Naval Attrition Map - Note the SPI version of the table can be accessed by selecting CTRL and selecting the table (Which is a piece) then selecting Invisible. Toggling back and forth alternates the table between the two versions.
  • Version 1.2
    • Conquistador 1.2 includes everything in version 1.1 but includes the following:
      • Generic counter which includes a fortress design for special rule usage
      • Counters have the ability to enter play as faded for special rule usage
  • Version 1.1
    • Conquistador 1.1 includes everything in version 1.0 but fixes the following:
      • Map 'follows opponents move' problem
      • I believe you should be able to use 1.0 saved files with version 1.1 as there are no changes to the game pieces, map, artwork or traits. I have not tested this, however. Like explorers to the new world, if you go there, please let me know.
  • Version 1.0

      • Three versions of the map are included
        • - The original (but graphically enhanced) version
