I noticed the Wiz posted a BS for Triple Attack Blackjack that calls for doubling down on 10 only against a dealer 6 or below

This is interesting because his BS for both Spanish 21 and Double Attack Blackjack calls for doubling down on a dealer 8 and below.

I'm trying to figure put why Triple Attack would be different. All three games use a Spanish deck. All three games include double down rescue.

The only rule change I notice that MAY have an impact is the push on 22 in Triple Attack. Could that be the reason the indexes change ?

Most likely. Push 22 is a big advantage toward the house. About 6.91%.

There are a few varieties of Blackjack which seriously affect doubling and indeed hitting. The first is the Spanish Deck which removes 10s so make it less likely to get a 10 on the double (so double less) and also less likely to bust (so hit more 12s). The second which features in quite a few games is the "Push 22" rule (which means hit some 14s, 13s and 12s). Finally there is an instant payout for 21s, so on some occasions it pays to hit, e.g. higher soft totals or 17 against an Ace, as the 21 will win whereas in standard Blackjack it may standoff or even lose (in UK it beats BJ).

Thanks all

I'll be in Vegas in May attempting to beat this game. I'll write a report upon my return.
