Also, relative velocity of combatants is a significant factor in effective missile range, which it wouldn't be for warp missiles.

These are all issues for an ultimately simulationist Honorverse space combat game which I believe would be impractical to play.

You would also probably find that these initial details would have to be determined randomly as there would be no author to dictate the set-up conditions.
