I used to have those numbers readily available, but lost the
paper they're on. I was also planning on generating a table
broken up by points to reflect the relative numbers each power
'has' of cruiser/destroyer/etc squadrons, if only to give a
basic idea that the NAC has X number of ship groups in the
800 - 1000 pts range whereas the FSE has Y number of ship
squadrons in the same point range.

Of course that *was* done on paper, and I lost that, too. :-/ Hafta
regenerate it some time here...

This is what I love about all this.  :)  Always keeping flexibility in
mind.
