Description
Cobra - Game of the Normandy Breakout , is a regimental/divisional scale simulation of the allied break-out from the Normandy peninsula in the summer of 1944, which culminated in the encirclement of some 160,000 German troops in the "Falaise Pocket." Each game-turn is equivalent to three days of real time, and each hex represents a distance (across) of 3.2 kilometers.

Released in 1977.

Gimp is my tool of choice for image manipulation yes! I usually get my counters from simpubs.org website for SPI games, try to avoid the vassal images if I can they are too "fuzzy" for me :)

That sounds great! There is some real neat things you can do with the free program Gimp for batch image manipulation. One of the free plug-ins for Gimp is called BIMP (Batch Image Manipulation). For example, BIMP will automate the rotation of a whole folder of images by 180 deg. It has saved me a ton of time. I also use it to automatically upscale a folder of images from a Vassal mod.

I've come across more titles that do the same thing with the counters... since the zoomed in image is affected as you stated, I will rotate the rear counter sheet 180 degrees before cropping the counter images whenever I encounter this "design feature" in the future... so back to flipping the counters side to side as TTS intended :)

That is the way they did the counters, no idea what the reasoning was behind it. For those wargamers who prefer to flip their counters top to bottom rather than side to side maybe? :)

Thanks again for all the great mods! I am curious to why the back and front side of the counters are in opposite orientations. For example, the front side of the counter is in the normal orientation, and the back side is upside down. This will also affect when the counter is zoomed in (Alt key). The zoomed in image will appear upside down.
