[Consim-l] A&A Games

[Thomas Cundiff]

Guadalcanal (Smithsonian) isn't such a bad idea if you want Flattop (lite). 
Pick up the Midway expansion for it and you've got two games with the same 
system.  That's a game system I've often thought of doing new counters for 
(new expansion counters that is) because that wasn't widly disseminated. 
But, I often thought I was the only one who had it or who cared.

Now with DTP such a widespread thing another thought has been to take the 
Flattop system with its British Expansion already done and move everything 
to the Med.  Now, that would be interesting indeed.
