It is basically an interview with Robert McNamara, mainly covers his time as Secretary of Defense (61-68), and discusses a lot of cold war events. Essential viewing if you're developing an interest in that time period. Anyway, just got the game and hoping to get it on the table soon. Excellent review.

The wall in that graphic is running East-West, which would create a North and South Berlin. /neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd The German Studies major in me needs to point out that the image on that game is historically inaccurate.

After my first play I was a bit skeptical that I'd be able to overcome the randomness with decent tactics, but after another game, it became clear that while you could lose due to randomness, player skill is essential. Great fun. It really is a great game.
