naval artillery would be a nice addition to Generals.

Fair comment. Trouble is that against any sort of opponent you then need air
defence for the carriers, then AS defence for the Aegis, then anti squid
defence for the destroyers and before yo uknow it, all you resources have
been sucked out of the land battle, where, IMHO, you can win it without
carriers.

Also, I never build superweapons, but allow my skirmish opponents to. Keeps
the adrenaline flowing.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing the hard way.
