Assuming you don't want eye contact to take the place of real time com,
this takes a lot of folk...

I've done this with our local gaming group using Close Action
(Napoleonic) with up to 18 people, and last year we had the 200th
anniversary of Trafalgar with 56 players.
The commo lag makes quite an interesting challenge for the admiral. It's
very much a case of outlining a plan and then praying that you have good
captains who take initiative when they need to--but *only* when they
need to.
