I'd be quite interested in seeing what you came up with. I've been working
on a modern naval conversion of my own game (Fire On The Suns) as the
systems we've developed for it would apply quite nicely to modern naval
warfare (trust me - it works beautifully!).

The FOTS Battle Engine can currently handle well over a million different
combat models and that just grew by a factor of three recently.

Much of my own work has stemmed from the lack of good modern naval games and
my reading of such books as Fleet Tactics: Theory & Practice (Wayne P.
Hughes, Capt. USN, Ret) and How Navies Fight: The US Navy & Its Allies
(Frank Uhlig, Jr).

Thanks,
Greg Ellis
