Well, having spent several hours searching, I found it. And despite your handy guide given here, I decided to use no more than the title printed on the box to identify it. It claims to be the Captain's Edition, so once I have re-familiarised myself with the rules (as I say, it's been many years since I even saw it), I'll give you a game.
