Prepair to 'Shudder' once again, Ha, Ha, Ha!

Not only do we do, simultaneous damage, but we
move by thrust value order (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8).
To cause an 8.7 Shudder, I'll say we shoot in 
reverse thrust order. (8/7, 6/5, 4/3, 2/1)

The shooting not only speeds up the game,
but allows little ships to have a shot or
two.

We can also play very large fleets with this
sequence.  (10 to 20 thousand point games 
can be done in 1.5 to 2.5 hours._
