I like Flying Circus the SPI game.?
We played it at Stoke Wargames Group in the early 70¡¯s.?
I painted a Jasta 26 Albatross (Airfix)
Cut out a 8¡± across flats (AF) hexagon from 3mm hardboard, a 3ft. piece of 1/4¡± diam. dowel to glue into the hex.?
Then marked of the altitudes in 500 ft intervals. IIRC.?
A piece transparent polystyrene plastic with a 9/16¡± hole drilled into one end and a piece off the Airfix stand fitted to the other end.?
When the plane was mounted on the stand end and the other end with the hole slid over the dowel.?
The weight of the plane stopped it from sliding down the dowel so height was shown easily during the game.?
Diving and climbing height could be adjusted by sliding the plane up or lowering it on the dowel.?
Sadly no one else made a stand so this was literally the first instance of solo gaming with a single albatross ?

Hi Doug
Here's one thats?not too horribly expenxive:?
Hi folks,
I'm thinking of giving Bag the Hun a go, but I am not keen on shelling out huge sums on a hex mat till I have given it a few trial games, any recommendations for a cheap 6 x 4 blue hex mat?
At the worst it can stand in for hex based spaceship? games or naval.
