using frigates with Gatling guns and armor as the first ship and the 2nd ship is a DD with armor.

Only chaff and split fleet dodge were allowed. Later in the years we allowed sfx merging after gating loophole which this player also admitted to using before it was allowed. Maybe he refuses to read the Must know section I dunno.

I would like to know from the experienced players if they agree with me that the pair of ships he is using is breaking the rules. Also what is the penalty? A 1 turn ban? All ships of those two designs get deleted? Something else?
Warning?


Firstly, IMO the "standard disclaimer" of only split fleet & chaff needs to be changed as there are too many bugs like sfx merging that should equally be allowed because they simply occur too often naturally.

Secondly, logically he read the Must know section, or its equivalent elsewhere or he'd not know to use the bug.

Thirdly, that seems to be a very odd pair of hips to be exploiting the mine-damage dodge - gatlings are not exactly cheap and armoring the ship that's being sacrificed seems counter-intuitive to me.

Finally, as a host I tend to fairly harsh with rule breakers, imposing scrapping & turn bans of increasing length. Of course I also tend to be fairly explicit about what the rules are too (of necessity - my games usually aren't normal).
