I allow premeasurement of fire, but not movement in FT.  I HATE games 
that require one to use the eye as a tactical tool, because so many 
gamers have poor eyesight to begin with.  Add to that the fact that 
each ship has MANY people and systems on board (some weapons officer 
somewhere has a lock which he feeds to all the others) that the very 
idea of NOT allowing premeasurement seems ludicrous.   I was banned 
from using artillery in GW games at the club because I rarely missed. 
I feel that the object of the game is to test your generalship, not 
your degree of myopia.	-KR
