Carrier Battles 4 Guadalcanal - Pacific War Naval Warfare

Once upon a time, there was Battleline's (later AH) Flat Top, and now there is this. I was a FT addict, and I'm on my way with this. Judicious addition of DLCs makes the games similar, and so I can relive the "joy" of aircraft operations (e.g. sailing the wrong way relative to the wind to launch quickly enough, watching the target of my carefully built strike disappear out of range, getting my CAP wrong so it's coming down just as the enemy airstrike appears out of nowhere. This is not a game for control freaks, as so much of the game is invisible to you, or those lacking the fortitude to bear losses and continue playing. The DLC have each come with a new scenario, and each have their points of interest, though I love the RN ones as they are so different, even if luck does play a larger part than usual (even if you get everything right, the torpedoes still have to do some damage!). Multiplayer works easily and well; although I've recently had occasional temporary glitches, possibly due to be opponent being behind the Chinese firewall. Currently the game has scenarios for the UK and US against the Japanese, but it would be great to see some DLCs covering the Mediterranean, and possibly the Atlantic and Murmansk convoys.
