  How about a Fleet Construction Point System, so players can design the
fleet makeup, like the rough guide I used in "Blood on the Tusk"?  Ship
tonnage=?points, "hero" levels=?, dragons etc.=?/HD, fancy stuff=?DM's
discretion, etc..
  Conquering a sphere brings more FCPs, etc..  Think Admiral Halker's
Tarantula Fleet running over the gnomes at Ironpiece.

  There's a bit here and there from sources like R. Moore's short story in
*Realms of Magic*, Goblins Return/Heart of the Enemy, Cloakmaster series,
Dragon Annual and so forth.  I could piece together something perhaps.  I
like stuff to jive with what's so far published, so there is a common story
lineage from which departures can take place.  Anyway, the war seems to
happen in spats with decade-long ceasefires while forces regroup and
consolidate control of newly acquired spheres.  Sphere hopping akin to WWII
island hopping.  That's the impression that I get.  Maybe this one starts
with a scro or elven offensive aimed at a whole row of spheres along a river.
