About (gulp) twenty years ago... I recall it came in little plastic zip lock cases roughly A5 size with huge grey maps and cut out road sections. Had some real fun times playing it with friends but it took hours to play. Wasn't it one second turns split into 1/10ths of a second or something. We had all of the expansion sets at the time, helicopters, offroad rules and trucks. Really fun game!

Would you believe I found 3 other soldiers who also played Car Wars there? Groovy times, indeed. Jim H. Moreno
