Power Naps? you get Power Naps? Must be a Solicitor thing.

I learned about fighting against circled wagons when my, (15mm hand painted lead solders), Celts were told by a "trusted ally", the enemey is "just around the bend". My Celts rounded the bend at full charge and took a concentrated volly that left me with one crazy berserk standing. After that incedent I studied up on the correct way to attack in that situation.

I tryed the equivelent of circled wagons, (Tactical), in SE IV Last night. I was out numbered:
11 Light Crusiers with a range 5 direct fire
The AI was using "Butterfly" formation.
weapon. to
6 Frigates CAP SHP MISL range 8
At some point they did suround me to an extent. The advantage to me was the CSMs could reach ships on either side of the battle. The bad part is there was no place to fall back to when the LCs decided to close. I took much heavier losses than if I had used a Wall formation.
