You probably meant the little airborhn game called Death from Above.

I guess you could say they were going under when they were bought, but
they have had a good reputation before.

Only gripe I got against TGF was that there's no first-strike rule in
the game.
Example: (Using the normal damage rule)You spotted a damaged enemy
battleship, and it's your turn, you close to 3 hex and fire, and sinks
it, but then the "sunken" battleship's turrets swing around, and
inflicts the same amt. of damage as you've dealt her.

Now that is just not fair, even in PG, when you fire and damage the
enemy first, the return fire is either suppressed or greatly decreased
than what would have been a first shot.

TGF just sinks when things come to that and the game is just using big
ships to finish small ships, and no bonus for getting the first-strike
in.
