Crumbs, look at the poll, if it doesn't interest you, don't bother with it, that's what I do.

And who says polls must be daily, anyway?

On the topic, yes, I've used it a couple of times in ACW naval games. Thoroughbred has a tugboat and barge set with a couple of the barges full of cotton bales. pcglabs.mun.ca/~timm/venice has as an objective to get the barges from one end of the table to the next.
