Re: Fighters?

Ah-hah!  I think I get it now.  I thought it was movement orders OR 
targeting orders.  I didn't realize it was movement orders AND targeting 
orders.  We'll see how it works next turn.

Chris:  I have no idea why you can't see my fighters.  They've been on the 
board since turn one.  Maybe they're really, really tiny. ;-)  I can't see 
yours either.
