Robert said, "but what about data tables that are purely formula based
that have no use outside of the application of the rule that references
the table."

You are correct that the underlying formula cannot be copyrighted.  You
can reverse engineer the tables legally still (even in the US), but as
you said yourself, be prepared to fend off a lawsuit.  Rightly or
wrongly, the original game designer may try to get his way in court no
matter whose side law and precedent are on.
