This sounds great, though I find it strange that larger ships can’t use a smaller ships for offensive screening, yet smaller ships can defensively screen larger ships.

Seems to me that a battleship should be able to use an enemy destroyer as a shield against enemy attacks all the same. It simply won’t be as effective as if it used a larger ship.

I’m sure the rules as they stand address issues of balance or something. Though it would be great to get a more in-depth explanation as to why this decision was made, out of curiosity.

Thanks.

Thank you!

I can’t tell you how this tactic is a natural instinct of mine. (“Keep running, I fend them off!”) and few games let you pull this off.

I’m very glad to see screening will be in the game. I definitely think it’ll be worth a bit of extra complexity.
