	I bought it and now wish that I hadn't :-(
	The graphics are slow and kludgy,  badly drawn, I can hardly see
what I am attacking at times so it tends to detract from the overall
"simulation"  The only historic content of the game is in the manual
Obviously it is just a port from the PC the Amigas graphics hardware
have not been used tto their full potential by a long way.
Most dissapointing.  Also having a copy of Battlehawks (which BTW is
quite goosd) i assumed that the would have improved upon this software
with Their finest hour.  Unfortunately the opposite proved to be the
case


Most dissapointing
