My wife loved that map: she thought it was the prettiest of all of my game maps, even when the parallels and combat units were actually placed on it. Even after all these years, I still think that it is a cool game with a very clever, but manageable game system.<br /><br />Best Regards, JoeJCB IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490081362549015107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-90085007083514297432010-12-26T12:00:37.973-08:002010-12-26T12:00:37.973-08:00I thought the old F&M #21 review on the game L...I thought the old F&M #21 review on the game Lille-it said-Sit down wearing a twead jacket,a pipe and a class of cognac in a game room and play Cobra and you are a drooling wargamer. Take out Lile and the jacket,pipe,drink you are a historian and watch the woman come over to the table for a look.<br /><br />Lille & Sevastopol were ahead of their time with the game system and maps. <br /><Kim Meintsnoreply@blogger.com
