Hello everyone,
Long ago "1984" i was the proud owner of one of the best Avalon Hill wargame ever (imho,) "Flat Top"
Any chance to see this game or a copy ported on PC?

Flat Top was an incredible wargame, or more a hide and seek wargame, a third player was required to tell the other 2 what they where both seeing, usualy nothing.
But today with a computer you don't need that third player anymore.
This game was also about carriers and planes management, should i load my planes with HE, AP bombs or torpedoes?
If you have ever played this game you know what i am talking about.

Thank you zakblood, yes i am wargaming since a long long time, with French wargames from JP Defieux first 1977, then a long story with SPI, AH, Yakinto etc. i have played almost all of them.
Then Miniatures wargames like, WRG-6, then computer wargames, I am playing steel panthers, since 1995 and at least 12 years already against the same very good friend from Norway, the number of games we have played is insane, actually i have no idea, 500? 1000? 2000? more? ^^, and today we are playing 5 x FOG2 games at a time and all the time, as soon as a battle is over we begin a new one.
We are always looking for new PBEM games, so this Flatop like game is looking like a blessing.
Actually he is the brain, and a much bigger history fan than me, he is the one setting up all ourbattles, don't get me wrong i am a huge history fan too but astrophysistis still prevail for me.
