hee hee hee, a comparison to Jim Dunnigan is supposed to bother me?
I'd like to be able to translate TFT stats and scale into a Dunnigan type 
game and vice versa allowing me some tools to describe Mavrick and Goose's 
volleyball game for a play session every once and awhile.
Or what happens when Mavrick becomes the C.O. of Top Gun school?
IMO all games could potentially benifit from at least a nod to the RPG pov.

I'm currently useing a WWI biplane model for flights of stuff like groups of 
wizards but have little grasp on fitting jet pursuit and etc. so it should 
be informative if your saying the playability was good.

and tie them together rather than reinvent the wheel over and over and 
over...
