Re: Full Thrust 3 rules

Easy - a SML attack engages the nearest target to the point of aim - any
ship will draw fire if it is closer to the point of aim than another -
scout
ships find a new role in battles (particularly against the FSE) by
flying
close to SDNs and FCVs - they may take as many as four salvos or more in
one
turn if you're lucky...

Ermm. could someone explain how this is supposed to work? I don't see
how
having a
couple of little ships along with your 'fleet of the line' is supposed
to
absorb SML damage?
Or have I missed something and there is some standard rule as to the
priority SML
barrages have to give to targets?
