New feature for AH Flat Top module requested

Hello all.
I am game mastering a PBEM Flat Top game and I have to wonder why a Game Master option was never added to this excellent module. As the GM my only real choice when I receive the turn files is to open them as an observer, but that doesn’t allow me to see any of the hidden cards like the air and ship formations. It doesn’t allow me to select, move and delete the players’ units to reflect combat occurrences. We have started to work through this by the players sending a lot of descriptive text or a jpeg of the cards with their turns but it would just make sense that there be a GM mode like the Pacific War module where I could have access to everything I need to see. What do you think?

I think something along those lines would be great.

I also recall seeing a Blind Flat top module at some point. You might
want to look into that, even though it is only listed as version 0.1
