Re: [FT] Simultaneous Fire

G'day Matthew,

When I was mucking around with my Piquetised version of FT you could se 
something like you mentioned. I'm not sure if you're familar with
Piquet, 
but it uses a deck of cards to determine what's happening (movement, 
changing orders, reloading weapons etc), the only thing doesn't require
a 
card is firing which can happen any time the unit is loaded (in this
case 
the ship is locked on). I had it so all ships have to move on their
current 
orders when a ship move card comes up (regardless of which side turned
up 
the card), but firing was whenever you wanted - you could fire while
they 
moved or later when other things better suited you etc. On the flipside
you 
had to reacquire lock-on to the target after each shot (as you see a lot

more fire in Piquet than FT so this balanced that problem).

Cheers

Beth
