Rather, I think they were failing to close. Dread #1 is in range, it sits there and fires. Dreads #2..#4 try to head tow

Units seem to have a preferred engagement range and will move to try to keep the enemy at that range. That's why the Overmind is moving back--it's preferred range is longer. The PHC dreadnaughts (other than the artillery one) seem to prefer to be at about their maximum weapon range. One dreadnought is in range and firing, the others are not. The others are
