Editing Combat Summary (section)

=TURN PHASES=

 '''<u>PHASE 0: PRE-ENGAGEMENT</u>'''
 * Before the engagement begins, players must determine their battlegroup’s starting positions.  They can do this by either choosing a posture or using uptime actions.
 * If the players aren’t performing uptime actions for this engagement, they simply choose a position and posture for their battlegroup as the fleet heads toward combat (see p. 48).
 * If the players are performing uptime actions, they can either use the Set a Posture uptime action to choose a position or they can use Plot a Course to perform another action and then roll to find out where their battlegroup drops out of nearlight (see p. 51).

==PHASE 1: LOGISTICS==
''Battlegroups that wish to surrender or retreat (if able) must do so at the start of the round, before the Logistics Phase.''

* Remove counters from '''CHARGE''' weapons, '''PAYLOAD''' weapons, and expended '''RELOADING''' weapons and upgrades.

* Exhausted '''ESCORTS''' and '''WINGS''' are readied for use.

* Resolve any upgrades, abilities, or effects that take place during the Logistics Phase. Make sure everyone is on the same page and ready to move on.

==PHASE 2: IMPACT==

* '''CHARGE''' weapons that have reached 0 Charge Counters may either fire, rolling to hit, or hold their attacks.

* '''PAYLOAD''' weapons that have reached 0 Flight Counters automatically hit.

* Roll damage for any '''CHARGE''' and '''PAYLOAD''' weapons that have hit.

* Battlegroups may roll Interdiction and reduce the result from relevant attacks.

==PHASE 3: ACTION==

* Battlegroups take turns using Manoeuvrers and Tactics, alternating between player and NPC battlegroups, beginning with players. 

* For players, choose to either use one Manoeuvre and one Tactic, or two Tactics.

* Non-'''CHARGE''', non-'''PAYLOAD''' attacks made during this step resolve immediately.

* Commanders roll to repel boarders from each boarded ship at the end of their turn.
