Emergency Stop

[Dobbs]

I have been considering a rule where, if you want to avoid an impending collision orc don't like where your moves are taking you, you can cast off your sheets and stop, then pick new cards. This is for when using the planning ahead rules.

First step is announcing your intention before movement. If both players are considering this tactic to avoid a collision, handle it by picking chits like boarding. A zero indicates staying with the original movements.

If stopping, instead of your regular movement, your ship will now move the width of the range ruler (placed in front of the ship, advancing the forward edge over the ruler. You may also choose to keep one corner stationary and move the other up to a ruler's width (to turn).

On the next turn, the ship remains stationary, but the owner picks a new movement card for the following turn. Movement on the first turn will be at the single sail speed, building each turn until at the chosen sail setting.

What do you all think?
