Oh, and in you're example, the big guns on the battleship are larger than the planes, so they would receive a penalty to hit -- making them less likely to damage the smaller targets.

I knew I could count on you, Jeff.

(And for picking apart my example. )

Jeff, for those of you who don't know, is a very cool guy indeed. I was a player in the HEX session he ran at GenCon '05, and I knew then he had a winner. It's amazing how well he <u>gets</u> this sort of setting.
