just one battles per turn

Well, should you make a differance? Wouldn't the combat use up movement regardless of whether you were attacking or defending, or even intended to be involved at all? Just make it an adustable movepoint cost for combat period. Then KlausD can make a mod and set that value to 99 or whatever and will get what he wants. I for one like that idea. Although I don't agree you should only be allowed one combat per month, I can see why it should cost more movement than straight and level flight.

The big problem with charging a movement penalty for defending is that somebody can attack you with 10 separate waves of unarmed escorts, and bleed away all of your attack fleet's movement points.
