Bruce, are you saying that accumulated hits would work best as follows: CBA LBA Fleet combat as opposed to the current version: CBA LBA Heavy fire Light fire ...

Yes, but bearing in mind that damage would still accumulate from round to round within the same naval battle, which I think is the important thing. This is...

Being with a CVL does not make a slow ship into a fast ship. A slow BB3 with a CVL is still slow, and (under my proposal below) a cruiser with a hit is still...
I was just looking for some way to address a couple of the concerns brought up with the earlier proposal. Maybe they aren't really slow, but sometimes the...
