Took me some time to figure them out. It's not one of the more lucid parts
of xconq.

Actually, a simple division by cps could work in this particular case,
since other units do not appear in the formula. It's only when the hit
tables get involved (as they do in the attack and defend formulas) that
things get messed up. So I suggest that you try this next. Hopefully,
destroyers will be more worth than battleships then.
