I'm considering getting some 1/2400 ships, but what rules would be best?

I included rules for using 1/2400 and 1/3000 ships with my "Iron and Fire" ironclad rules. We've used them with Crimean and Lissa campaign fleets in 1/2400 just fine :)

I second David's rules. My favorite ironclad rules, any scale.

There's also Chris Peers Floating Castles rules, which are available as a free download from the Wargames Illustrated website. They would work fine with 1/2400 if you measured in cm not inches.

…although I'd also go for Iron and Fire myself.

David Manley's "Iron and Fire" are great rules.
