Oooo, another oldie pops up!
Hello Cory,
In response to your question:
Hey guys, question for you on Fleet Ambush. The relevant text: Players take turns deploying fleets as normal, but must deploy all ships before deploying any squadrons.
So the question is, do BOTH players have to deploy all ships before EITHER player may deploy squadrons? Or does EACH player have to deploy all of his own ships before HE may deploy squadrons?
Example: we're playing my Fleet Ambush (so I'm second player). I have 6 ships and 4 squadrons; player 1 has 3 ships and 10 squadrons.
Deployment goes... P1 Ship P2 Ship P1 Ship P2 Ship P1 Ship P2 Ship ...
Then does Player 1 deploy a pair of squadrons next? Or does Player 2 finish deploying all of his ships, then both move on to deploying alternating squadron pairs?
It sounds like this is played differently in different communities, so we're trying to run down what the intent was.
Thanks again!
Cory
In Fleet Ambush, each player must deploy all of his ships before placing any squadrons. In your example, the second player would begin placing squadrons on his next deployment turn after he placed his third ship. Player 2 would continue deploying ships until all of his ships have been placed.
Thanks for your patience on this question!
