You'll excuse me if I don't read it right away, Tom. I'm doing my own
conversion for the Russo-Japanese War based on the Fleet Book rules. I'm
sure
it will be a bit different from yours, but I want to keep my own ideas
uninfluenced. It will be interesting to compare after this is all done.
In
spite of a lack of munchkinism, I'm finding my rules are not too far off
realistic. I plan to do some more playtesting this weekend.
