Re: Why Big ships?

I'm still mulling over the range thing, maybe the ranges are too long for
these weapons?
 Better maybe a base range same hex for all with modifiers of +1 a hex until
a twenty is needed. Except for Heavy catapults and they'll start at one hex
with +1 mods until a 20 is needed?
 I'll try that out in the next battle I think (imminent)
