Look on ebay. I just found several copies for sale - $20-$25.

This game looks exactly like a game called Ace of Aces, which used to be one of my favorites before computer gaming became big. There were 2 books, one for Axis and 1 for Allies. Each person would decide on the maneuver to perform, call out the page number, and, after some quick cross-indexing, you'd get to see the new position. It was a quick-playing wargame that was a lot of fun. In fact, I still have it and it's still a lot of fun. There were advanced rules that took altitude and other things into consideration, but we never bothered with that.
I've been hoping that a game like this would come out for the computer for a long time. I'm glad to see it finally happen.

I'd like to buy CMBB as a gift, but I'm concerned about the Mac requirements. I'm reasonably sure he has OS/X, so, according to the Battlefront site, CMBB won't work.
I understand there's an emulation mode built into the Mac OS (I'm a PC owner, so I'm not familiar with Macs). Would I be able to buy him the PC version and have him run it in emulation mode?
Thanks!

I've not seen the card game, but the similarity is that in both games each player chooses a maneuver and then you get to see how things look afterwards. The advantage, from what I can tell, of AoA is that you aren't limited in manuevers, which seems more realistic to me.
