why not break this up into a long range missle combat setup, 50" range,
representing 1,000,000 km, or 20,000 km/inch) for beginning missile
salvos
and 30 sec. per turn (would allow 1 salvo per turn), and then when ships
are
close enough, 20" or so, change the scale to represent 400,000 km by
moving
the ships out to 40", 10,000 km/inch, range and 5 seconds per turn to
allow
energy weapons to fire once per turn and missile once per 6 turns.
