I tried these before but kept getting stuck on the fact that fighters with no engines still get a move point in strategic. I never thought to change the engines per move. Sweet.

Also, a quick test confirms that an unmodified fighter with no engines gets one move per combat turn. Also a fighter modified as previoulsy discussed so that it has no strategic movement gets no combat movement either. This is to be expected since 0/2 =is 0 whether you round up or down. But hey when fighters with no engines can move you kind of learn to test even the obvious stuff.

Hmmm, you may want to check JLS' AIC mod. It has tactical fighter combat model just like you want to make.
