Have two or three different Message areas for each game. One for All, another for just your allies, and another for individuals.

Another variation is have one area, and preface it with a code or color to indicate the above.

The message submittal area would be modified appropriately.

Several ways to implement this, the idea is to allow private messages in games.



Looking at it from the Blue Max viewpoint I think it would stretch how WWI pilots could communicate. You might be able to point or use a flag but not when you got into combat. I think letting someone with a tail tell his teammates the direction would be wrong. At least now you have to send a private email if you want to 'cheat' that way. I will not comment about the other games as I haven't played them. My two cents.


I can see that point for BlueMax. Maybe just for WS&IM then.


I quite like the all communication is public aspect for WS&IM - I run up flags

Perhaps you should be allowed to send a semi private communication (shout at the nearby ship) if another ship is in an adjacent hex - bu tit should go to all adjacent ships including enemy one.

In Blue Max - I feel telling other players anything about your or another planes's move - except through the game mechanic of setting yourself up to be tailed is probably not on.

It's not a bad idea for real time games, but I don't think it works within these turn based games. If Blue Max was second world war maybe - but it would definately change the game, I'm not sure for the better/worse. Edward
