I've now played a couple of games on the relatively recent "Cold War" two player 1v1 variant.

It's interesting but there's one real problem - the borders of the smaller territories, especially in Europe, are almost [u]impossible[/u] to see properly, even in the large map. The unit markers are larger than some of the territories. As a particular example it can be totally impossible, just looking at the map, to tell whether an opposing fleet is in Albania or Greece.
