Well, I haven't heard it! If you feel like repeating it via e-mail, I'd
love
to hear it.

The miniatures store in Toronto that I haunted had both of these games,
at one
time. They may STILL have them...

And there was a third game using the same big counter idea. It was a WW2
dogfight game. I had it (don't know what happened to it). It was fun,
using
the same counter style (aircraft in the middle, degrees around the
edge). Of
course, if you got really close with the aircraft you started to get
weird
effects with the counter being bigger than the aircraft it represented.
It was
fun, though, and you got to crawl around on the floor!
