ORIGINAL: Jeffrey H. Yaquinto made a game called 'Flattop' about the WitP, also they made the original 'Airforce' and 'Dauntless' titles later absorbed by AH. They also made some ground based stuff, not sure which one of these games he's referring to. Never heard of those, they had a nice series of WW2 games, "88" and "Panzer" i think a couple other eastern front games.. "88" was a north africa game. Ultimatum is a fun game has a few different scenarios, Cuban Missile, Vietnam, and a few other "futuristic" scenarios.. Basically a 1 turn game First Strike and then the other retaliates, different launch sequences and sub phases. Or you can play the 20 turn game where you purchase your own stuff... Don't know enough about the cuban missile crisis to tell you if this is an accurate model but they sure did put a lot of work into the game, It seems like the US has a significant bomber advantage but the Soviet Population is more spread out, doesn't take a whole lot of bombers to level the eastern seaboard. Nice game if you ever see it for a cheap price its worth picking up..
