Minimize Damage To Self and 5th square

I had a weird occurrence during the battle - can anybody explain what happened?

There were 2 groups of delta torpedo DDs, call them group A and B and 7 unarmed privateers (loaded) of my enemy on battleboard.

DD group A has following orders:
Minimize damage to Self
Prim target: Armed Ships
Secn. target: Any

DD group B has following orders:
Maximize damage ration
Prim target: Armed Ships
Secn target: Any

Both groups were approaching the privateers, which were ordered to disengage. While group B (max. dmg ratio) opened fire to the privs, group A (min. dmg to self) stopped on 5th square from the left and did not move any further. Delta topr has range 4 and the fleeing privs were on 10th square (from the left), so no single torpedo had a chance to be fired. Shocked

There were no other ships. Why the group A did not move further to the other side of the battleboards? The game is played on Autohost, and I got same results when simulated the same situation on my computer. Do "Minimize Damage To Self" ordes prevent fleet to move further then 5th square? Any idea? Confused

Regards,
Feliks
