    We've done something similar using poker chips.  (White=1, Red=5,
Blue=10)
You just place the required amount of chips under each base and go from
there.
With the standard 100 poker chips, you can handle a fleet of 6 ships
fairly
easily.  It works fine, but you still need a calculator with SQRT to
handle
ranges and movement.
