Status: offline 		Do you remember a company that made games in the 80's called Yamamato or Yamato Games. They made alot of games that came in album cover type packaging. "Fast Attack Boats" was one I remember, but they also had one that was a U.S. vs. Japan beach landing. I was wondering if there was anywhere i could get some of these games. I loved them when I was in high school.

Some info can be found here: http://www.volcano.net/~themaverick/alb.html And there seems to be few of their games for sale on ebay. "Trust the Google. The Google is Your Friend" :) Voriax

Status: offline 		Wow, perfect! Thanks bunches! Boy does that game list bring back memories, I forgot how many of those games I had. I lost them all when I was in the Air Force and they were stored in my mom's basement which got flooded. I also lost Jutland, Submarine! and some other Avalon Hill games. The only survivors: Flat Top and Luftwaffe. A crying shame. :-(

You might find a copy for sale - somewhere on the net. Don't feel bad about losing the games. When I moved to Michigan I took what I thought was everything I owned for ASL, which is darn near every module published. Well, I did take the modules. And the counters - thousands of them. Somehow, though, I didn't bring the rules. I don't play ASL these days, if I ever do I'll have to find an auction site for the rules. Duh ..... Bing

Status: offline 		The Chin (and any others), I have a wargame collection (board wargames) of over 100 titles and I am looking to sell most if not all of them. Some are quite rare and most have not even been punched. This is not a fire sale and I don't "need" to get rid of them. I just don't play them anymore and they would be better served with someone enjoying them rather than collecting dust on my shelves. This offer is for the serious wargamer, so if you want some of the old classics, please contact me at david.a.davenport1@jsc.nasa.gov Iron Cross :D :D :D :D :D :D

Status: offline 		I remember Yaquinto Games very well. The guys who started it are from my home town of Atlanta, Ga. They did a lot of very neat ones, including Fighting in a French Fort, the series of three air games, beginning with Air Force, which AH finally took over and many others. It was a very good little gaming company. Alas, so many have come and gone! Wild Bill

I think you are mixing companies here, Airforce, Dauntless, and AF/dauntless expansion were from Battleline Games. The same folks who did Circus Max, Flattop etc. Yaquinto did Ironclads, Ironclads exp, the one with the Greek heros where each player is a Greek god, and Timewar amoung others. I got rid of my boardgame collection (over 300 games) a couple of years ago and had most of each of those companies games. If I remember my wargame company history, Heritage was the predecessor of Yaquinto, they were based in the Dallas Tx area. Why no company can come up with a way to clone Ironclads in a computer game is beyond me. The last era where ships closed up and blasted away at each other is much more interesting to me than launching airstrikes or vollying ssm's. thanks, John.
