Actually the old SPI game of AirWar(?) allowed 30 degree movement by 
allowing movement down a corner, giving 12 point directions instead of 
just 6.  Movement down a hex corner was combination of forward and side 
slip with the direction of sideslip alternating to keep you going down a

straight line.	FT may be adaptable to this for conventions or where you

need to be nitpicky about ranges and movement.
