| [eia] Interception after Fleets are forced from a port |
Don't agree. This is still an interception combat, with the fleets trying to fight through the blockade. Interception is automatic, wind guage is automatuc, but the PRINCIPAL of how combat occurs in the box cannot be different unless the RULES explicitly define a difference, whick they do not.

I don't think that there's any decision to be made about interception when a fleet is driven out of port---I read 6.2.6.1 as jumping straight to the combat if the player who owns the fleet so chooses. So I don't agree that Mike could have let the fleets pass by. Hence I'm inclined to say that 6.3.1.1 doesn't give any guidance in this case, since no one is phasing or intercepting. -- J. _______________________________________________ eia mailing list eia@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/eia _______________________________________________ eia mailing list eia@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/eia
