RE: Simultaneous moves/fire

Yeah, oddly enough that's what happened with me too. My first few games
were played using simultaneous fire, but later, after re-reading, we
decided to try it 'by the rules' and found that simultaneous fire seemed
to work better. 

On the other hand, as Eric pointed out, it may not work for really large
engagements. Up to now, the largest battle we've had to deal with has
been oh, around 8 or so ships on a side, 3 or 4 players. Usually less
though, so I haven't seen simultaneous fire become too unwieldy. I
imagine that fire and movement by squadrons would most likely take care
of that.
