Additional Aircraft and Charts

Note that several items from this page have been removed because they have been incorperated into the new Blue Max Miniatures Rules which I designed with Phil Hall. Items here are fully compatible with all versions of Blue Max

An updated Aircraft Characteristics Chart is available in either compressed postscript form: achar.ps.Z (17K) uncompressed postscript form: achar.ps (91K) or as a GIF file: achar.gif (22K)

An Early War Aircraft Characteristics Chart is available in either compressed postscript form: ewachar.ps.Z (17K) uncompressed postscript form: ewachar.ps (91K) or as a GIF file: ewachar.gif (22K)

An Aircraft Avalability Chart covering the entire war is available in compressed postscript form as: avail.ps.Z or uncompressed as: avail.ps It is also available in GIF form but it is 2 pages so each must be dowloaded separately as avail1.gif and avail2.gif

This Combat Chart was supposed to be included in the new version of Blue Max. It increases the effectiveness of single gun aircraft slightly while decreasing the effectiveness of flexible gunnery (observer's guns). It also has information in the "Things to Know" section about spins and spin recovery. It is available in compressed postscript form as: cchart.ps.Z (15K) or as a GIF file: cchart.gif (14K)

Additional Aircraft Maneuver Schedules

The following aircraft maneuver schedules and statistics were created with Phill Hall's assistance and according to the designer's notes provided by him. They are completely compatible with both the boxed version and miniatures version of Blue Max and may be included in future versions of the game.
Stats: are given in this order: Stability / Engine / Wings / Fuselage / Tail / Fuel / Armament / Max Altitude (+ means may regain Max altitude).

Ray Trochin (trochim@rintintin.Colorado.EDU) has made several modifications and additions to the rules. Some of these have been 'Blessed' by Phill Hall and Myself so all of his modifications are worth a look. You can download the files by clicking here.
