Binhan - sounds interesting. I've had people tell me they've done
conversions for FT Napoleonic Naval (Full Sail?), and I've been playing
with ideas for a Modern Naval version - mainly for my own use,
especially
as I was tempted into buying 130+ beautifully painted & based 1/2400
modern
ships at the bring-and-buy at the last show I went to... :) [with this
size
of fleet you NEED Q&D (Quick and Dirty) rules!]
I would certainly be interested in seeing the full text of your rules
when
you've done them; it's up to you and other list members whether you want
to
post them to the list or privately email them.
