I was thinking that. The trick is to come up with the right numbers. I'm
going
to have to re-open this. It would be a shame not to finish it,
considering how
much work I put into it.

On average, it took 50 minutes of gunfire to sink a pre-dreadnought
battleship. This didn't include critical hits, of course, that took out
magazines and sent the ship crashing to the ocean floor in short order.

I originally had two sets of scales, "encounter" scale and "battle"
scale. I
think that it would be best to just release it with "battle" scale to
allow
refights of big battles.

Yes, definitely time to open it all up again...
