Re: 1st CanAm

A quick comment, our group tried out a simultaneous fire and damage
format
recently and the upshot was to have a very quick and decisive couple of
combat
turns preceeded by a number of sniping and maneuvering and then followed
by a couple of "run away!" turns. It was quick and fun but felt a little
different.
Tactics and ship usage would need to be re-evaluated in light of such
changes. Any comments?

Please advise
Thanks

"Quick" is what I'm hoping for.  Please send the details as to how you
worked it

According to Canon (FT FB#1) SML can move up to 24" in their
missile attack mode (non-vector movement). ER Salvo Missiles
recieve an additional turn of movement? Yes?

If so, how much movement?

Please advise
Thanks
