Thanks Brian,

I think I've got FT mostly figured out now.  I've almost finished a new player 
aid card that combines all the aircraft in both games (plus the British from 
the General article) and gives them values according to the CV scheme.  Which 
in most cases means no change at all to speed or endurance, and +1 to the 
Basic Hit Tables (BHT) as CV includes one more BHT in the CRT and is slightly 
less bloody in the lower ranges.

I expect to soon have both games fully reconcilled with each other (they are 
90% the same as published) and look forward to playing Coral Sea!
