So, you're saying the complex interaction between the various assigned values for, say, radar signature and the game engine can be found in Jane's?
And the playtesting to validate all this can be found there as well, I suppose?
I think not.
Exactly. A database which starts from objective facts, but then weaves the data into a game system through a personal interpretation of them, and a lot of play-testing, is both *original* and the *original* results of hard efforts.
This doesn't prevent to some twats to scream "PLAGIARISM!", but of course no one is forced to listen to twats (and to become indistinguishable from them).
