Definitely. It was often hard to tell which ones were bought from other
companies, though. Flat Top and Air Force/Dauntless were by Battleline.
Diplomacy is the most famous example, as it had been around pre-AH, and
was
licensed to different companies in different countries. I still have my
Waddingtons' version.

They had quite a few excellent in-house games. I believe Up Front was an
AH
in-house game, and one of the best they ever created. It presaged more
modern wargames in many way. Did they ever have a real clunker? Other
than
Powers and Perils, I mean...
