Recently read the AOD rules a couple of times.
I am confused on turning.
Page 6 states that a ship can turn twice in the movement phase: once when it completes the first half of it's total movement and a second time when at the end of the movement. So a ship with 3 pts can basically do a 180 degree turn every movement phase. The example of the HMS Iron Duke even demonstrates doing two turns in the same phase as long as you do the first turn at the halfway mark.
So what is the point of "agile" or "Battle Turn away"? You can already do this with every ship without the trait or making a special role.
Can someone please clarify...I did not see anything in the errata.
I can see normally allowing a ship to turn twice as long as it does not use more than the total of it's turn point during that phase. Ie. if you have three point move half use one point and then move the remainder and then trun 2 pts.
As written the "agile" trait is meaningless. The agile trait is basically just restating what every ship is already allowed to do in the basic turn rules.
TIA,
