People can generally be trusted to limit their actions to some degree-wiping out whole armies generally doesn't happen until the endgame (see: Vader, Insanowar 2) and even when I literally COULD blow everyone to hell, I did not, and I'm one of the people most yelled at about iffy actions. Most have learned to be at least more restrained regarding retcons, myself being a good example as I only did it recently when I felt it was that or drop out due to being unable to have anything interesting. In this case, a retcon was a good thing-as it certainly beat the game being down to two because one of the players couldn't do anything interesting.

But onto something more interesting. I'm gauging interest for a Space Insanowar or my Navy/Team version as described earlier in the thread (I think).
