RE: Warp Point Assault

That's why patience is the name of the game; the attacker has reserves, the
defender doesn't.  
Out of interest, did FTL scatter take effect?  Getting it to work on the
first turn was the most difficult part of the design.


Note that the bases are at least 30MU from the warp-point (co-ordinates
0,0), so it shouldn't be too bad.
Until the bases start to suffer target overload, the attacker suffers the
worst of it.
During the testing the first round was always the worst; but if even one of
the CE(M) survive, the bases are in for a bad time.  The original version
had 300 mass bases and TWO of those vaporised on turn 2.
