gamey naval tactic - must be fixed in the new game

[gwgardner]

In RtV one can force a debilitating naval battle on the enemy by simply staging a dummy amphibious assault.

In a normal naval battle, only those ships which have ostensibly spotted the enemy will engage. But in an amphibious assault, ever ship in the area engages, thus allowing the stronger force to sucker-punch the weaker.

Hope this is fixed in the new game.

Gary's quite right about this. (please see: tm.asp?m=2014967&mpage=1&key=? for details. I should also point out that this post was written before Time of Wrath converted me from troll to raving fan-boy.)

I'm researching this issue.

Although it doesn't always happen, it should be fixed somehow.
