I remember those wargames well! I was a young college student who traveled to the former Czechoslovakia in 1972. We were made to stay at the border crossing until nightfall. When we were finally allowed to proceed on towards Prague we ran into all sorts of tanks, trucks, and artillery pieces headed in the opposite direction. Made one heck of a racket, but then those were exciting days! :D
