Sibiriangun 99+ day(s) ago | As far as I remember the attack counts as flanking, so if the pyth had hit tyr instead of fodder the tyrs would have killed some of the pyth. |
ThinkReal 99+ day(s) ago | Yep, I missed that. Thx. The F.Swords died in the 1st wave from Pyth retaliation, leaving the Pyths with an unused attack. To be fair, the ships ithey choose to attack should be allowed to respond, but I don`t think they are. Or are they? These cases don`t come up very often. |
ShatterdDreams 99+ day(s) ago | since the swords died during their attack on the pyth the pyth never attacked anything in round one so for it`s attack during round one it picks one random stack to attack which in this case would be the fodder, goes to show you it can be risky leading non-retal ships |
