RE: [FT] PSB and Turn Length

I find sequential fire adds an extra level of tactics in face-to-face
games.

I generally use simultaneous fire in PBeM games.  It adds the element of
uncertainty when allocating weapons.  On several occasions, entire
fleets
have targetted a cruiser or destroyer only to ignore the dreadnought
firing
back.  Usually that ship has been massively overkilled (+22 hits to -22
hits
in one turn!)
