I've been revisiting this a little bit. I have been redoing my
Predreadnought
stats for General Quarters and got thinking about Flank Speed/Full
Steam. I
came up with a way of varying the weapon damage for different sized guns
within a class. I also came up with some ideas for incorporating the
rules in
the Fleet Book. It makes a wet navy version of FT much more feasible,
mostly
by making it harder for a ship to hit it's target. Here's a hint: why
use D6s?

Contact me by e-mail and I'll layout what I'm thinking. It will
definitely be
beer-and-pretzels compared even to General Quarters, but finishing the
Battle
of Tsushima in under 3 hours has some appeal.
