WanderingHead -> RE: Rule 8.5.3 Naval retreat (6/25/2008 6:27:04 AM)

Frankly, I've never liked this rule. Primarily because it can quite unexpectedly cause the attackers moves to become non-undoable. I think that the cannot-undo effect is significant enough in impact but subtle enough in when it will trigger that the rule should be removed (too easy to get caucht by it unexpectedly). I've also seen some little issues like what you point out, which just shouldn't happen. I'd be interested in what others think. Should the "retreat if port is *expected* to be captured" rule be removed? Obviously, the naval retreat would still occur if the port is actually captured. But bear in mind that I don't expect any more code changes, so the probability that this is improved is fairly low. I'm just looking for the guidance on the odd chance that I do any more coding.
