Two worms for the can:
1) Very few people ever used the FT2 Sensors/ECM rules.
2) Virtually all FT battles are "full knowledge" from the get go.
This led me to the conclusion that Electronics rules needed to be
relatively transparent at the tabletop level, and be used more at the
grand tactical or strategic level.
Oh - and there are plenty of situations where even complete knowledge
of a larger enemy force will not "force" a retreat.
