Re: NAC - American style [LONG]

The original definition of distroyer, frigate, cruiser and fleet ship is
the lay out and weapon load out verses mass. Each was rigged for a duty
as the fleet ship was general duty and most handicapped of the admiralty
approved loads.

Definitely use existing GZG minis.

I'm not entirely happy with the mass categories in the GZGverse. I'd
prefer something like Mass 20 missile boat, Mass 40 DD, Mass 120
Cruiser,
Mass 300 Battleship, Mass 600 Superbattleship...that may be a little too
steep a curve, but it's analogous to WW2 ship displacements.
