Hey Gray,
Three things might work in our favour:
1) As we get more familiar with the rules, things should go faster. Especially if both players are good about turning up on time and getting started straight away. That time you came to watch me and JJ play and we made it to turn 4, we had both arrived late, then there was a hunt for a black cloth, then I had to assemble my ships etc.
2) As far as I can tell, instead of duking it out until one side is completely destroyed, campaign games end when certain victory conditions have been met. I can also imagine that people will withdraw their ships more to prevent them from being destroyed in an ongoing campaign.
3) Half of the scenarios in a campaign are limited to 750 points a side, and the other half are limited to 1500 points. It seems that both players simply have to agree on a points limit, so even smaller battles are also possible.
