Hi, Possibly the most effective way to use Cyberboard to play Flattop is to have 3 games generated.
1. Is the common game file that both sides use for revealed movement. 2. Is the Allied log file that the Allies record Allied movement and operations, and can run common movement files on (which is handy to compare Jap moves). Only the Allied Player keeps this game file. 3. The Jap log file, the converse of the Allied. Currently playing a variant where we roll a d20 per 2 factors <= modified BHT to get a hit. Takes the mathematic certainy out of attacks. Seems to work reasonably well. I'll GM a game of Flattop in the new year, starting mid-January. Drop me a line to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are interested.
