@madmansniper – I do not know if AirWar C21 draws from any other systems.  I suppose all games do in some way.  I would  not be surprised by what you say, SPI made some great games back in the day.  SSI, Avalon Hill, Victory Games, GDW, FASA for tactical science fiction … ah … those were the days.  😀

In what ways do you think Air Superiority is better?

I would say Valor & Victory definitely draws from ASL, Barry Doyle admits as much in the designer’s notes.  But ASL is perhaps too heavy for today’s market, so while ASL is probably a better game “objectively,” V&V is far more accessible and people are actually playing it across a wide, multi-platform community.
