This looks to be a nromal situation since we are not allowing naval pursuits in EiANW.
Better put that into the list of things on the wish list. This is a very important change.
However, Thresh, there IS a way around it, provided you haven't used up all your movement AND it was your attack coming out of a blockaded port. If both of those are true, then you can simply continue movement with the stack, and MOVE to the blockade box. However, if it was an attack that used up your movement (which would NOT be from a blockade box), then the game is not matching the boardgame, and you are stuck.
Marshall, the reason I say this is important is that it takes away a very important practice from GB: If an enemy attempts to assault her, she may need to go back to its port to keep it from pulling the same trick again next turn. Now, I grant that in most cases, GB can simply use normal movement to follow the ship. However, there are two things that go against this:
1) GB may be out of movement points. This would force her to use her last-then-first option, possibly prematurely (to blockade the following turn).
2) The defeated fleet could, if it chose to, intercept again (unless the game turns this off by some mechanism). Now, I grant that most of the time, this would be stupid. After all, that same fleet just defeated it. But, the commander may feel the Brits got lucky, and be willing to try again.
