Saganami Island, Advanced Tactical Course, aka "the Crusher". (BTW i just
finished reading "Ashes of Victory", does it show? ;) 

That's pretty close to what i had in mind, and much easier to handle than
an entire fleet battle scenario - just a few ships at a time.

I know the math, i know Weber's engineering specs well enuf... i just
haven't had any fun programming since, well, Windows... ne1 feel like going
farther with this? Ne1 know how to?
