Seekrieg is quite a bit slower even than FT. _Great White Fleet_ (the pre-dreadnought supplement for Avalanche Press' naval games) has a more detailed tactical combat system that can be used with _1904 - 1905_ and their Spanish-American War game. It still uses hexes, but these can be easily converted to inches. I have a Wargames Illustrated article for a DBA-like game for Russo-Japanese War that plays reasonably well and quickly. There's a follow-on supplement for WW1 that came out earlier this year.

(I've never heard of a Wargames Digest, though I do remember -- and still own some issues of -- Wargamer's Digest from the 1970s, later reincarnated/re-run as Military Digest). It was issue number 143 for the pre-dread stuff and 175 for WWI.

> Examples ? I am on the lookout for fast-flowing naval rules. You might try "Age of the Dreadnought" which was the pre Dreadnought/Dreadnought expansion to Age of Iron rules (American Civil War Naval rules). The only criticism I had was that the author came out with the rules a little too fast (after Age of Iron was a success) and they needed some additional research. The British armor is rated a little too high while the American and Russian armor is rated too low. The rules play quick and are easy to learn. I have not been heavily into the newer sets of naval rules but I have tried some of the early computer moderated rules and they worked out OK.
