African Flags and People

<t> I've noticed in the ATG graphics sub-directory on my computer that there are folders for African flags.

Starships Unlimited II and Interwar Naval Arms Race

<t>I received your E-notice about collaborating on Starships Unlimited II today. I'll make the same suggestion to you I made to Malfador Machinations a couple of years ago after I first played Space Empires III. How about a game on the naval arms race here on planet Earth in the 1920s and 1930s?<br/...
