The "War of Northern Agression" to which Barnacle Bill refers is the one commonly referred to as the "U.S. Civil War." Barnacle Bill apparently is from the southern U.S., with no plans to run for any national political office.
Maybe next time they hold an election for President of the CSA, I'll throw my hat in the ring
By letting the defender "borrow" movement points from his next move, nobody gets any more movement points than anybody else. The limit is how many points he would have available during his next move. This is necessary if retreat is not just to be for attackers who bit off more than they can chew.
