Yeah, but if you are in formation you are not starting with free plane placement.
The free plane placement (with I do not like at all) has been created exactly to simulate a chance encounter between a group of players which are NOT in a cose formation... So you are cheating a bit if you chose a hex... 
As for encircling attacks: the encirclement must be made of <i>groups</i> of planes. E.G., with 9 DI, 3 from noth side, 3 from south and 3 in center. If anybody is too far from mates and too near Gulliver, it's doomed unless he runs like hell half the map. Especially on large maps. We should state a few "meeting hexes" to group sub-formations.
Of course a single pidgeon is dead meat, expecially if the Gulliver is a SS which can move faster then him. For this reason I simply suggest to start close to the center, so that no one is risking to end up too much isolated. |
