I can't really explain the nuiance of both ships arriving at the same time, although I wager good timing could have made it happen... as for the fleet, perhaps they werent really a fleet, but simply an attack formation, per the In-combat order menu? Err, but wait - I recall that in Simultaneous, Tactical isnt allowed, so a human player couldnt have set the order for 'Group Leader and member', so its still kinda cheating...

Damn...Good eye, I figured I had it nailed down, but it eludes me still... Looks like the AI was cheating...LOL
