While poking around, I ran into references to a reasonably simple mass combat system in Salt and Sea Dogs, which seemed worth pointing out as its rather directly related to what you're doing.
Thanks! I thought I'd read all of the d20 pirate games, but that is a new one on me. (in my OSR pirate game, Freebooters (from Night Owl Games), I use the "scale it based on the PCs actions" but I'm looking for something more sophisticated for a fantasy pirates campaign I'm thinking of running.
