In the Manual it states:

"The mean remaining Movement Allowance of your entire Force is too small to allow for successful exploitation of your Attacks; i.e., an average of less than 20% of the Movement Points remaining among the units involved in the last series of Attacks."

The two parts of this sentence don't agree. The first states it is the mean remaining movement of the ENTIRE force, while the clause following the i.e. references remaining movement among those units involved in the last series of attacks. Which is it?

The reason I ask is I was thinking it was the former, thus I wouldn't move my non-attacking reserves their full movement point as I didn't want to raise the mean remaining movement of my force, thus causing an early turn end. This is a real pain as you have to go back and move them over and over throughout the turn. However, if it is only looking at those units that just attacked, then I should be able to move my non-attacking reserves their full movement allowance during the first round with no detrimental effects to me.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Strike the word "entire" from the sentence. If I ever get a chance to have Matrix re-edit the manual, we'll have to try and remember to correct that. Thanks.
