SURFACE MOVEMENT PHASE

Units have their movement split into two steps: first they move in the General Movement step, and later in a step according to their speed class. Note that units with Speed 1 (e.g. submarines, most crippled units, and units that fail their Slow roll) may only move in the General Movement step.

Step 1: General Movement
The player with lower initiative moves each of his surface units up to one sector, regardless of speed. The player with higher initiative then does the same. From this point on, all units are considered to have spent one movement point, regardless of whether they moved or not.

Step 2: Slow Movement
The player with lower initiative may spend the remaining movement point(s) of each of his units with the Slow SA, as well as Auxiliary units. The player with higher initiative then does the same.

Step 3: Carrier Movement
The player with lower initiative may spend the remaining movement point(s) of each of his Carriers. The player with higher initiative then does the same.

Step 4: Battleship Movement
The player with lower initiative may spend the remaining movement point(s) of each of his Battleships. The player with higher initiative then does the same.

Step 5: Cruiser Movement
The player with lower initiative may spend the remaining movement point(s) of each of his Cruisers. The player with higher initiative then does the same.

Step 6: Destroyer Movement
The player with lower initiative may spend the remaining movement point(s) of each of his Destroyers. The player with higher initiative then does the same.

Step 7: Torpedo Boat Movement
The player with lower initiative may spend the remaining movement point(s) of each of his Torpedo Boats. The player with higher initiative then does the same.

Does anyone use these movement rules regularly, because they look really promising.
Makes the ship movement a little bit more interactive, sort of like the air placement phase.
What I like the most about it is that it takes into account the slight speed difference in general between battleships, cruisers and destroyers. So, I imagine it´s easier to keep cruisers away from the big guns and destroyers get a slightly more bite against subs.

In support of this system, I can quote Richard Baker from the old forum (you can still visit it btw):

It got fixed. For a little while it just had the blue box with a white question mark in it. But never mind.

I am assuming that if I roll poorly and the SLOW ability kicks in that I could not move in step 2. Also if an Auxiliary has speed 1 it only moves in step 1?

That's correct.

Also, I'm shamelessly stickying this thread to follow the trend Wink
