Default Re: Simple, Reasonable Disengage/Retreat Rule

Responses.

dmm,

I would split my fleet to pull a defender away from a point as well. If they have a fleet guard a wormhole I would split my fleet and see if he goes after either one which would allow me to enter the wormhole next turn. Or if I have another fleet comming I would lure the fleet into staying or get close to my arriving fleet point of entry.


Bill,

You can't borrow movemnt points it would make it unfair. yes after 2 turns you would have moved the same amounts but what if during a retreat I entered into another system that had a new race in it. I would have established contact a whole turn early which is to my benefit. Also if your fleet doesn't have any movement points or less movement points than your attacker. (Which I would guess would be 90% of the time in a turn based game)you can't retreat so why spend so much time on an option that winds up not being used anyway? I would rather the time be spent on getting drones in and working on the AI. IMHO
