Gentlemen: I have found another issue with the rules for Canvas Eagles that I would like the group to explore. Everything is pretty clear for combat with arcs...
I disagree, not on the physics of it but just on the principle. There are cases where a player gets in trouble for exposing his "fangs" (term used by fighter...
Hi all When playing online it now seems to be a strategem to slow down on a straight move so that the plane behind you, tailing you, moves to pursue you only...
Ron I agree that the way the same hex rule as written does not seem realistic; any more than that final victory in "TOP GUN" where Maverick slows down so he...
Last "kill' scene of "Top Gun" is a lame visual of the Soviet developed "Cobra" maneuver where the jet deploys into an inside loop, close to the top,...

To tell the truth, I'd rather not see a remake done. I thought they took an adequate war novel and turned it into an incisive view of the Faustian bargain...
Hello all, On Friday night the Canvas Eagles WWI dogfight campaign kicked off with a mass dogfight featuring 12 aircraft (6 allied vs 6 German). Aircraft flown...
No remake but I would like to see somebody use computer graphics to fix the horrible paint jobs that were done on the German planes. The Pfalz D.IIIs should...
I would be interested in seeing this as well.
I'd love to play Blue Max/Canvas Eagles, but noone in the area is interested though.. :( I'm even thinking of...
As I recall, the Pfalz paint schemes weren't too bad, considering that they were replica D XII. Trouble is, they were being used way too early. John S. In a...
I have a basic BlueMax game written in C# that someday I'm going to get around to adding an AI to (which was the whole reason I started it way back when). So...
HI Did you know you can already play Blue Max online at youplay.it it is an free Italian site in English, I am ronshipp1 if you want to challenge me or play...

Vasiliy, My group uses 2" hexes for out 1/144th scale battles. Works fine for us. As for rules Canvas Eagles is the best out there for simplicity and flavor ...
Thanks, Victor What type of stand do you use (antena, rod)? Did you try Stringbags rules from A & A Game Engineering? I'm living in Bay Area near San...
Vasily, The Canvas Eagles rules are very easy to use. We have kids as young as 8 playing with ease. Some of our best gamers actually. Cant help with the hex as...
Vasiliy, All of the bases are from Litko and are rods. We use dice on the bases for altitude. I have not tried Stringbags, but I do own the rules and have...
HI mate Welcome aboard, I use both scales, for 1/144 I use wings of war planes as well as Skytrex and Reviresco but mount all planes on spare pegs from the...
Hi Vasily, I hope things are good! Blue Max / Canvas Eagles is probably the best balance of accuracy and simplicity that I am aware of. That being said there...
