Re: Simple, Reasonable Disengage/Retreat Rule
dmm,
It was a post to eveeryone not just you. I also notice you didn't talk about the supply usage or the fact that some ships would get more movement than others.
As far as your example goes in A where you have a 10 ship fleet verses a 15 ship fleet ( I assuming that you are playing in a simultanous game otherwise this doesn't apply) if there is more than 1 colony to destroy if makes sense to split up your fleet and force him to do the same. if not you get a free shot at a colony or 2.
But in either example the strategy, IMO, is the decision you make to split the fleet or attack a group of ships. Not, having an out in case it was a bad decision.
