Having multiple fleets attack at once

[rdouglass]

...and it only seems to work properly if ALL ships / fllets can get to the enemy occupied sector in 1 turn. IOW, if it takes more than 1 turn to get there, on the second turn they all switch back to as if you had moved them idividually (when using the 'shift move' method'.

Methinks it could solve most of this issue if we could assign multiple fleets to a larger group (lets call them 'battle group' for lack of a better term). Then you could move the battle group to an enemy occupied sector. And then, you could assign different strategies to different fleets.

I know this has been discussed before, but it may be the solution to this particular problem (especially in games that require strategic battles). ...and I have no idea how difficult this would be to implement, however I'm quite sure its not a 'moddable' item.
