Do you play high speed or manuverable ships? We've tried 18" primary +
9" 
or 6" secondary move and even then we don't usually have trouble hitting

something. Based on that I just would've thought that 36" was a lot more

than you needed (even accounting for the 2pt turn restriction) -
especially 
compared to what an SM/SM-E can do. How do you work actual engagement,
do 
they have to touch or do they have an engagement envelope?

Cheers

Beth
