[RP/MM] Turn 42 Trial CDS vs CW- DP3108 Transfer Station P9 *COMPLETED*

[Dave Baughman]

Okay....2 questions regarding Dave's ruling...

1 - Can the infra attempt to flee in rd 6 again, since none is captured?

2 - Should the infra be doing damage?

If yes on #1, I will roll for escape one more time.

1. Only if the system is still contested. Infra transport groups do not contest a system on their own, so if your other units are wiped out the infra would be captured.

2. No, but also yes: see bulleted point #3 on the ruling. Infrastructure cannot inflict damage per se, but just as with unescorted ground units their transport dropships do get to shoot back.

If moving factories can inflict damage, its going to be hell at Terra when the clans reach it, imagine ~400FP of moving infrastructure becoming basically a combat unit.

This sounds like a great idea except for two points.

1) Moving factories can't initiate combat orders, so they really only get to fight when they are attacked and/or when they try to run away and are intercepted.
2) Moving factories surrender when they are in an uncontested hostile system.

So please, send all your infrastructure to Terra alone. The Master would be most amused.
