Bear with me on this complicated point...
I am particularly interested in Sundown & Pease1 point of view (original inventors of the game).
Currently our small band of wargamers are playing canvas eagles (CE) off line. Canvas Eagles - if you do not know it - is a variant of Blue max (BM). CE uses altitude and other complications. We have decided to use CE witout the altitude rules thereby retaining much of BM's simplicity.
But...(there's always a but)....CE's plane charts are different. They are more similar to each other (plane types) and you do not get 2s1 & 2s2 difference. Every manv. has the same fuel expenditure. Generally type for type you can do far more manvs. This makes the differences less and without the altitude or climb factor we lose the "feel" for the different aircraft. It occurs to us that the plane charts are everything and the differences are subtle but essential for the game's enjoyment. Can you play with CE's plane charts and ignore altitude? I dont know but it dont feel right at present.
